Steven Den Beste at USS Clueless calmly analyzes progress in the war up to this point and offers up some advice:
If you, as a civilian who is quite naturally worried about the war, find yourself obsessing on individual events and begin to wonder if we're facing imminent disaster, then what you need to do is to take a deep breath, turn off the damned TV, and look at the overall progress of the war. If some reporter talks about how there's serious resistance in some particular village and combat taking place, ignore the fact that the reporter tries to cast it as being a disaster and instead consider the fact that it means the troops had to advance a long way to even be in that particular place to even meet that resistance.
And then look at what other units, elsewhere, are doing. Look at the big picture. It isn't going perfectly for us, but it's going extremely badly for Saddam.
