March 2004. Spring is officially here...though the temperature is in the 30's. Spring brings hope. But things don't seem too hopeful around the world. Yesterday marked the one year "annivesary" of the start of the war in Iraq. We are no much closer to a solution than we were a year ago. We have no exit strategy. American soldiers continue to die each day.

If there is any good news here, it's that with each passing day, George Bush's chances of being re-elected grow slimmer. Americans are becoming more and more disgusted by the situation in Iraq. Bombings in Spain on March 11 have resulted in outcries from around the world that the US should get out of Iraq.
