Hope Springs Eternal

"I hope the pain and suffering borne by the families and loved ones of the more than 2,000 American troops lost in Iraq are somewhat eased by Bush's acknowledgement of responsibility.

I hope Americans here at home who were dependent on health care and other programs that were scaled back or cut because of funding needed for the war are somewhat eased by Bush's acknowledgement of responsibility.

I hope the Iraq elections are successful so we can get out and President Bush can hold his head high in victory and make the history books.

I hope 2008 gets here before we know it!"
