Soldiers being captured and killed, spies arrested, etc., all this is part of war, but not the kind America fights against a helpless enemy. America has the upper hand, but we should not jump to conclusions. However, BUsh says, "No matter how long the war continues, victory is ours." But Churchill once said, "No one can guarantee success in war but only deserve it." Bush has now started threatening Syria. As Israel's Moshe Dayan once said, "If we lose this war, I'll start another in my wife's name."
