On the other hand, the Iraq Study Group recommendation represents a viable option that addresses the complex problem on hand. Can the president explain to the American people why the ISG will not work? Can he at least admit that doing the same things will likely produce the same results?

I am an Egyptian American born in Alexandria. I immigrated to the US in the late eighties, during this time lived in many places in US and Europe. I work as an IT manager and love it. I love to travel, it makes me feel young, and it awakes in me sense of adventure and curiosity. I love knowing people from different cultures; it never fails to amaze me how we all live in our little worlds that never meet. History is my second amazement, it always differ depending on who is winning, that leads me to my third hobby, politics is it history or human nature that is the culprit?

Inspired by the fact that my Border Collie is smarter than our president, I started Fight-the-right.org to catalog our idiot president's activity and to sell bumper stickers.

Um... Mars and Venice?

I think you mean "Mars and Venus," as in the two planets...

If you mean the way in Iraq, they are still four years so far.

There is nothing to negotiate

You seem to imply that since military action clearly has not ended terroist behavior, that diplomacy and negotiation can be usesful. Just how would that work? To change the behavior of a person, an organzation, or a nation state requires that there be something in it for them.

That "something" either has to offer a reward or a punishment, as an inducemnt for change to occur. While the ISG suggests the need for increased diplomatic activity, it fails to provide any guideline as to what can serve as a basis for these communications.
