The audacity of refinement
Barack Obama (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Obama) has taken some flak for "refining" his position on the Iraq war. I offer him praise. In my opinion, refinement is a mark of intelligence and open-mindedness.
As demonstrated yesterday (http://sumocat.blogspot.com/2008/07/scribbles-is-3-rambles-is-0.html), I am continuously refining my methods and procedures. From technical stuff like blogging options to lifestyle systems like my fish boycott (http://sumocat.blogspot.com/2008/04/50-year-fish-boycott-two-years-and.html), I am always looking to improve my life now and down the road. That is my philosophy of refinement.
The situation in Iraq is fluid. It requires flexible handling, not the mindless and static policy of throwing move money and manpower at it practiced by the current administration. It is that distinct lack of strategy that I have persistently opposed.
After eight years of a commander-in-chief who claims "every war plan looks good on paper" (http://sumocat.blogspot.com/search?q=every+War+plan), I look forward to a leader who is smart enough to consider better options.
