People just can’t get their minds off the war in Iraq. I think they’d like to.  I think they want to. They realize there are many other really pressing problems, but what to do about Iraq? 

I can see a better situation than the one we have now, but not until Bush is out of office and a Democrat, any Democrat, is President. 

Once Bush is no longer the president, I see the landscape changing a great deal.  Instead of having the rest of the world against the United States, many countries will be willing to assist in solving the problems caused by the Bush invasion of Iraq. 

First of all, support for al Qaeda will dry up.  It will become harder and harder for al Qaeda to operate in Iraq. 

Assuming that we escape having a third war added to the situation with Iran, the United Nations and the Security Council will be much more likely to work with the next president, provided it is a Democrat.
