So what is the best your neo-con / fundie friends/family can throw your way at this time?
The best I can get out of them was that millions of humans are now living in democracies while their dictatorships have been toppled.

I reply, "Yeah, that was well managed, properly planned and funded, and we are supporting our troops over there and over here upon return. Poppy must be proud."

I also mention that GHWB's greatest fear when entering into "public service" was that he would do something (have Raygun shot, Iran Contra) that would taint the gentleman's reputation that the Walker family name epitomized. Now his dim son has run as Dubya (aka W and has his mommy's dad rolling in his tomb.

13. everyone here thinks Obama won't last long either
