Inside the confused mind of an American

who no doubt voted for Bush.

Folks, stop bending your minds around why Kerry probably lost or why Bush maybe won or any other sort of remotely logical thought process. For when we have to deal with voters like this, it is futile with a capital 'F'.

In today's New York Times we read:

Carolyn Jolly, 50, a civilian employee of the Army in Fort Lee, Va., said the attack did not change her opinion that American forces should be in Iraq. But she is equally firm in her belief that they should get out as soon as possible. And she is worried.

"I think we should stay through the elections," Ms. Jolly said. "I support the president's plan up to there. But if we're going to focus on Iraq without support of other nations, I see the violence increasing. I can't see a democratic Iraq. So what are we doing there?"

I must ask: if she thinks we should stay through the elctions then doesn't that mean she thinks there could be a democratic Iraq?
What are we doing there?
....What was the question?
