“A larger war is emerging”

So says Joseph Lieberman (I-Connecticut)[*1] in the Washington Post:

While we are naturally focused on Iraq, a larger war is emerging. Onone side are extremists and terrorists led and sponsored by Iran, onthe other moderates and democrats supported by the United States. Iraqis the most deadly battlefield on which that conflict is being fought.How we end the struggle there will affect not only the region but theworldwide war against the extremists who attacked us on Sept. 11, 2001.

Look up from the morbid body-count of how many U.S. soldiers have died in Iraq and see the world as it is, not how you wish it to be.
