Gradually degenerating into ignorance and complacency.

The "comma", for those who haven't read it.

BLITZER: Let’s move on and talk a little bit about Iraq. Because this is a huge, huge issue, as you know, for the American public, a lot of concern that perhaps they are on the verge of a civil war–if not already a civil war–We see these horrible bodies showing up, tortured, mutilation. The Shia and the Sunni, the Iranians apparently having a negative role. Of course, al Qaeda in Iraq is still operating.

BUSH: Yes, you see — you see it on TV, and that’s the power of an enemy that is willing to kill innocent people. But there’s also an unbelievable will and resiliency by the Iraqi people…. Admittedly, it seems like a decade ago. I like to tell people when the final history is written on Iraq, it will look like just a comma because there is — my point is, there’s a strong will for democracy. (emphasis added)

.....
I understand the "thought" behind it was, a small pause, but that REALLY wasn't put together at all. Sadly, Arab war is much like the weather, though changing there is always weather; be it hot or cold cloudy or clear; there will always be war.

I assume at this point you're posting things just for your amusement and you're giving no regard to the entertainment of the reader. And that's fine, it's your blog... but, to quote Steve Martin "HERE'S AN IDEA...WHEN YOU TELL A STORY, MAYBE HAVE A POINT!!!" I understood what he meant without explaination--and I don't know why there was any confusion and I certainly don't know why it's here. But hey, whatever you want to do.
