Yes, that's what I was talking about

Finally the Bush administration becomes a bit more straightforward:

"The insurgency could go on for any number of years," Rumsfeld said in a U.S. television interview. "Insurgencies tend to go on five, six, eight, 10, 12 years."

This is the kind of honesty I was referring to below. A step in the right direction.

(BTW: A note to my colleagues at CNN. In Dutch journalism schools we learn to make a choice. Either you use words for numbers in a sentence, or you don't. And yes, I am grumpy.)

"I believe in life. I believe in treasuring it as a mystery that will never be fully understood, as a sanctity that should never be destroyed, as an invitation to experience now what can only be remembered tomorrow. (...)
I believe in liberty. I believe that within every soul lies the capacity to reach for its own good, that within every physical body there endures an unalienable right to be free from coercion. (...)
I believe in the pursuit of happiness. Not its attainment, nor its final definition, but its pursuit. I believe in the journey, not the arrival; in conversation, not monologues; in multiple questions rather than any single answer."
Andrew Sullivan
