Watching how screwed up things are in Iraq, I am reminded of the move War Games. In that movie, a computer is about to blow up the world, and a kid gets it play itself in a game of "global thermonuclear warfare."
The computer plays scenerio after scenerio, with each scenerio ending up in the whole world going up in flames.
At the end, the computer says "Strange game. The only way to win this game is not to play it."
WHich is what all of us were saying before Bush forced his way into the war.
