J Corbett:
It isn't over folks... Seriously. I invite you all to read my latest status update for more information. This changes nothing.
Me:
I disagree, Mr. Corbett. Internationally, it may change little. But, in the hearts and minds of many Americans, especially those who been affected by loss and grief during these confusing and troubling times, it will bring closure. For the first time I have the feeling the all this painful sacrifice might not be entirely just senseless, pointless corporate pawn-brokering. I still think that the way these wars have been fought have been much more about lining private interest pockets, which is heinous and shameful, but perhaps some good will come out of it, after all. And no, it isn't over. You are certainly correct about that. There are dark times ahead. But, a door has been closed. This chapter of the saga is finished. That is a good thing for the nation.
