"Counterinsurgency is about governance," said Col. Thomas X. Hammes, an insurgency expert at the National Defense University in Washington. "You have to prove to the people you can govern them fairly and effectively - then they will tell you who the bad guys are."

Still, the insurgency's trends indicate that even at an average pace, the tough guerrilla warfare seen today is likely to continue for many years. "Don't expect solutions now. We're two years into this," Hammes says. "We're at the top of the third inning and this is a nine-inning game."

Will the rest of the game be a very offensive game, with lots of "home runs"? Or will it be a pitchers duel, with defense being key? Who is going to be singing the seventh inning stretch, bin Laden? What if we go into extra innings? Is there a double header scheduled? Who do we play for our next series, the Iranian Mullahs?

What will the box score be like? Will Bush win his fantasy league, with 500k+ dead? What kind of points do we get for injuries? Do you get more if it includes missing limbs?

Can't wait for the highlights on ESPN!

Don't you just love baseball?
