A few months passed and the infamous 'Don't ask, don't tell policy' seems to be gone for good. One must remember, however, that we owe its disappearance more to the group of 8 brave Republican senators who voted to repeal it rather than to the policies of the Obama administration on the subject.

As for Obama's policies on Iraq, I hail the end of combat operations in Iraq. We've got peace at last, albeit a very bloody one. Just yesterday there were over 60 Iraqis killed in an explosion and today about 20 more died in very similar circumstances. By the way, does anybody know when G.W. Bush's and T. Blair's trial for crimes against humanity is scheduled to start?
