Sunday, November 07, 2004Well, well, well. According to AOL, we've stormed Fallujah and Iraq has declared a state of emergency. We're, hmm, 4 days out from the election and already on the move. Good. Deepak Chopra - unlikely source for something like this - says to spend your money to keep the flow going so it can come back. Bush is spending his political capital - and we're guessing it, too, will come back.The Iraqis, too, are spending a little political capital here, trying to stay in control as the turmoil unfolds. If they're smart, they'll keep a loose enough hold to maintain order - too tight a grip and Iraq will be left to suffocate or burst free. Kind of like holding a kitten. In any case, it's too soon to tell if the news is good or bad, even if it is good or bad. The good news, in the larger sense, is that freedom's soldiers are again on the march and the enemies of hope and tolerance are more than a little discontent with the state of the world.
