They keep drawing "lines in the sand" and not backing them up when they are crossed, pretty soon, even now, these lines mean little or nothing to the Iraqi government.
Exactly...

As a mother of a teenager and a soon-to-be-teenager who has tried all the psychology mumbo jumbo to get them to do something simple like clean their rooms - you can only draw the line so many times. If they see that you keep moving the line back and hedge - even just a little - they'll see it as a weakness and continue to take advantage.

So what happens when they stop listening to Mom & Dr. Dobson?
It's time to throw away the books - quit playing in the sand and get Daddy to come home and lay down the law....

Daddy needs to pay a visit to Iraq!
