3000

The disaster in Iraq spins faster and faster out of control.

New year's resolution: bring 'em home.

Decade's resolution: put the criminals in the dock. Last night, at the ceremony for former President Ford at the Capitol, several of the most deeply blood-soaked and corrupt were walking together -- Kissinger, Cheney, Greenspan. Convenient for taking into custody, if we lived in a country that even began to live up to its ideals.

To a happier new year.
