Exactly, Kevin. Raygun is an instant gratification kinda guy. For example, if the stock market jumps 200 points in one day, that, to him, is proof that the economy is doing great. Never mind layoffs, unemployment claims, profit warnings, or anything else. The Dow is up, ergo the economy is peachy.
Same with Iraq. We win the "war," so everything is great. Never mind the several years of occupation involved, in which we will surely see terrorist attacks against our troops. Never mind the ungodly amount of money it's going to cost American taxpayers. Or that it could make the economy much worse than it already is. Let's also ignore the strong possibilty that it could cause more instability in the region in the long run. Hell, India, as we've seen in another thread here, has already begun to adopt the Bush Doctrine of pre-emptive attacks.
