...safety net is only a matter of good organization. We have more money and more medical know-how than any group at any time, anywhere in the world. Rosa made me realize what a copout I accept; how cowardly it is to throw up hands and and complain about the "system". But don't feel too bad for her.

In Congress, both parties are scrambling to find ways to convince voters that they can bring troops home soon. Though Republicans on Capitol Hill danced giddily on al-Zarqawi's crater, they complain privately that what they consider Bush's stubbornness--his conviction that to withdraw would be to admit error--could cost them control of the House, if not the Senate. "If the war goes well, Republicans do better," says Connecticut G.O.P. Representative Chris Shays, who faces a tough re-election fight...
