George Casey says Iraq could be "a remarkable country" if we stick around for another decade or so, presumably at the same or perhaps even greater cost in lives and money...then General Casey started babbling about the universe in his fingernail.
OK, so maybe I made up the part about the universe.
Hell, General Casey--if you think a decade-long committment to Iraq would work wonders, imagine how good a similar committment would work RIGHT HERE.
You might have highway bridges that don't collapse during rush hour. Or levees that didn't fail.
Sure, maybe it wouldn't be Futurama, but right now I think the public would settle for decent infrastructure...better still, you wouldn't have soliders getting killed or grievously wounded in the name of fostering fundamentalist Islam.
