But then we will face a second war: a war to win the peace in Iraq. This war will last many years and will surely cost hundreds of billions of dollars. In light of this enormous task, it would be a great mistake to expect that this will be a replay of the 1991 war. The stakes are much higher in this conflict&#8230;. Today I weep for my country. I have watched the events of recent months with a heavy, heavy heart. No more is the image of America one of strong, yet benevolent peacekeeper. The image of America has changed. Around the globe, our friends mistrust us, our word is disputed, our intentions are questioned. Instead of reasoning with those with whom we disagree, we demand obedience or threaten recrimination.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>See Also:<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com\/the_daily_dish\/2009\/05\/fear-1-dems-0.html\">Fear 1, Dems 0<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/emptywheel.firedoglake.com\/2009\/05\/19\/torture-appropriations\/\">Torture Appropriations<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/allspinzone.com\/wp\/2009\/05\/18\/was-george-bush-on-a-mission-from-god-in-iraq\/\">Was George Bush on a Mission From God in Iraq?<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.balloon-juice.com\/?p=21414\">Keep Bombing Until They See Things Our Way<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/bgalrstate.blogspot.com\/2009\/05\/main-concern-of-washington.html\">The main concern of Washington<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/pandagon.net\/index.php\/site\/comments\/every_once_in_awhile_i_do_need_reminding_that_my_party_sucks_too\/\">Every once in awhile I do need reminding that my party sucks, too<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/obsidianwings.blogs.com\/obsidian_wings\/2009\/05\/keeping-us-safe.html\">Keeping Us Safe<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/donklephant.com\/2009\/05\/15\/blaming-national-security-conservatives-for-republican-problems\/\">Blaming National Security Conservatives for Republican Problems<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.notmytribe.com\/2009\/pelosi-and-the-democrats-knew-and-supported-the-use-of-bushs-torture-all-along-87825.html\">Pelosi and the Democrats knew and supported the use of Bush\u2019s torture all along<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/chicagoboyz.net\/archives\/7150.html\">What, Eight Years Wasn\u2019t Long Enough?<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;If the United States leads the charge to war in the Persian Gulf, we may get lucky and achieve a rapid victory.
