Default End of Iraq war in sight

I expect the war in Iraq to be over fairly soon, probably within a week or two:

Penn, Sarandon Unite for Hunger Strike

July 5, 2006

SEAN PENN, SUSAN SARANDON and WILLIE NELSON are just some of the big names who will be lending their support to anti-war activist CINDY SHEEHAN's hunger strike.

Sheehan, whose son Casey was killed while serving in Iraq, began her "Troops Home Fast" protest outside the White House on Independence Day. Her plan is to abstain from eating and consume only water and juices throughout the summer.

Penn, Sarandon and Nelson, meanwhile, will participate in a "rolling fast" along with actor DANNY GLOVER, author ALICE WALKER and nearly 3,000 activists nationwide. The concept involves each participant to refuse food for 24 hours on designated days and then pass the fast over to the next individual.

I don't see how W. could live with himself, knowing that Penn and Saradon would actually be going 24 hours without solid food. Oh, the humanity!

(Just for future reference, is a strawberry julius from the Bellagio considered as solid food?)
