James Dean, Maralyn Monroe, ect... But this lead to insanity and "compartmentalization". They "lived" the role at least when the cameras were on.

He is correct about the two parties self serving arrogance however. Other than that, I think this article offers nothing new in the way of creative ideas. For the record, as President, I would favor an aggressive plan to get out of Iraq, depending on the "situation on the ground". Given the sacrifices made by our troops, the enormous costs we have incurred financially, and the trust that many Iraqis put in the US, it would certainly be foolish to simply pull out. I cannot envision US troops staying much more that a two years from January 2009, and that is the outside estimate. At some point, Iraqis must claim their own nation for themselves. I believe that they are a much more secular nation than the other Muslim states. Once they wake up and see a future, they will respond. The reality of Saddam being gone will take hold. As the violence continues to decline, it will be apparent to all of them how much better life can finally be. There will be no rush to go backwards. John,
