Good Bye Donald!

The first administration victim of yesterday's Republican demise is Donald Rumsfeld. This is long in coming and with Iraq being the focal point of the change of government, it's no surprise that he's on his way out. Maybe it came quicker than expected -- but with a replacement already named it seems that George was ready to do this.

So, I'm hopeful. I don't think we will and I don't think we should "cut and run," as others have pointed out -- "when you break it you must fix it." We broke it and we have to do something to fix it. Hopefully the new secretary designate, Robert Gates, will be better able to think outside the box and stop blaming the troops for mistakes made in the Pentagon.

So, the news is good! And perhaps we'll move beyond our zealous nationalism and begin taking a look at what Robert Jewett calls prophetic realism.
