After the November 2006 elections I was hoping for this and said so in one of my columns. Sure enough, there is gridlock in the air in Washington, helping with the task of slowing down the rampage of Democrats to loot us of all our wealth so they can redistribute it to their heart's content. Yes, going after Attorney General Gonzales has its benefits, as does the bill passed by both the House and the Senate, curtailing the war in Iraq, one President Bush is sure to veto. All this acrimony is to the good!
Let me just say that I am all for pulling out of Iraq. It's been bad war, if any of them can be welcomed, and it is time to admit it and let go of it. America really has no business being in Iraq-there has never been any credible evidence that that country poses a serious threat to us, which is the only justification for war in a free society. (Remember, "governments are instituted" to "secure [our] rights," not to go on military adventures around the globe!)
