Victory Schmictory
NPR is airing a Talk of the Nation right now on "what will victory look like?" Evidently - nobody knows. Could be the fall of Baghdad. Could be the execution of Saddam. Could be the take over of oil wells. Could be when "democracy" is established. Could be dependent on how many people die. Could be if wmd are found...or not found. Could be anything - or nothing. Conclusion: There is no way to know if there is victory. Great news.
