summary of Rumsfeld: we will keep killing them until they accept democracy
at least, that's what i got from the press conference in a nutshell.
When asked how they could possibly have fair elections in January when parts of the country couldn't vote, Rummy said "that's why we're doing all this so that they can have fair elections".

in walking back to my cube, I realized, in a nutshell, what he's really saying here:

"We will keep killing them until they accept democracy."

think about that for a moment. Is it any wonder the world hates us?

4. That worked with the Native Americans --
this is history repeating itself -- both Vietnam and lessons learned in the occupation of America by the Europeans.

6. That's exactly their strategy in the U.S. too, only it's not democracy
they are killing us with. But the "hit them hard and often until we beat them into submission" is GOP all the way.
