There's no retrospection or learning happening on the other side. Why do you think they wear Che Guevara t shirts? Everything he's stood for has been thoroughly discredited and he's still a hero. "WAR IS NOT THE ANSWER" will stay on cars forever no matter how necessary or successful any future war is.

War is certainly not the answer to “What are we having for dinner tonight, honey?” or “Have you seen my brown shoes?” or “Why does our neighbor have so many moronic liberal bumper stickers?”
 

There is nothing inherently wrong with the statement. The sticker may refer to the mission of the driver or some other underachiever.

Personally, I much prefer "Gas, Grass, or Ass, No One Rides For Free." Or "If This Van's a Rockin', Don't Bother Knockin'."
 

Hmmmmmm. I was actually in favor of the war in Iraq. However, it remains to be seen if anything has been accomplished.

Goals:

1. get rid of WMD. You get credit for this only if you believe that eliminating something that wasn't there to begin with counts as an accomplishment. We have managed to loose quite a lot of Iraqi explosives and technical equipment, God knows where it all is.

2. Get rid of Sadam. Big check mark there. cannot deny that one.

3. Make Iraq a safe and democratic island in the mideast. Hmmm. a lot of people voted. Certaily isn't safe. Will it stay democratic? will it get any safer? will it turn into an Iranian dominated theocracy? Clearly it will take a lot more time(and unfortunately a lot more casualties) to make it safe and keep it democratic, if it can be done at all.

And the price: Lots of dead and wounded, both ours and civilians, the world doesn't think much of us(not that I care what the French think, but worldwide unpopularity can be a bad thing, especially if we make our reputation on being the guys in the white hats.), outright lying to the American public by the president and his staff, manipulation of intellegence info for political purposes, damaged oil supply from Iraq....

All in all, I can see why the nothing gained sticker is still on, if only to give Dr. Bean a target when he is in Mario Andretti mode.
 

Hi Dilbert!

You may not have seen an older post in which we rattle off the benefits of the war. Check it out.

If you think world opinion is less favorable towards us now than 3 years ago, then we have very different opinions of (1) Condy Rice's recent European tour in which every diplomat tried to ingratiate themselves to the US now that they realize they were on the wrong side (2) the democratic movements in Beirut, Ukrainke, and Ksmegmastan that clearly look to us for at least moral support.

I think we are much more respected (and frankly feared) than we were 3 years ago. Whether we are liked is irrelevant to me.
 

In a similar vein, I continue to see "Rock the Vote" ads, urging me to register and to vote (presumably Democratic) in November. I saw the most recent one this past weekend.

I'm thinking they could have spent their advertising dollars more wisely.
 

There's this guy in my university who had the sticker "Psycho Moron '04" hanging up until a few days ago, when he replaced it with "General Clark '08"
