Good idea. How about it Costa Mesa?

McCAIN SAYS IRAQ UNRAVELLING AFTER OBAMA'S REMOVAL OF U.S. TROOPS
Nope. Obama isn't to blame. The George Bushes (both of them) are to blame, but mostly bull in a china shop George the younger.
As we wrote years ago, the only reason that Iraq was reasonably stable--and somewhat Western in its views--was because of the iron hand of Saddam Hussein (a Sunni) who kept the opposing religious and ethnic groups in check.
Saddam's much reported "brutality against his own people" (remember all the planted stories about his brutality in the U.S. press that were, in addition to the phony WMD stories, used to excuse our invasion?) was Saddam's attempt to keep the country from becoming what it is now becoming--an Islamic state under the rule of Shiites.
We predicted that if Saddam were removed, the Shiites would seek ascendancy and that they'd align themselves with Iran (a predominantly Shiite nation),and that's what we're seeing starting to happen. In addition, the Kurds are stepping up their campaign to have their area of Iraq become a separate nation.
We also predicted many times, and this still hasn't happened yet, that if and when Shiite cleric Muqtada-al-Sadr obtains the rank of Ayatollah that all hell is going to break loose in Iraq. Actually, it may break loose sooner than that as a way for him to obtain that rank.
Stay tuned, but don't blame Obama for this.

As I happily sit here in my loft overlooking the marina and beach at the end of W. 19th Street that has turned the Westside into the place to be in Costa Mesa, Clarence enters the picture and shows me what the Westside would be like in December 2011 had the Costa Mesa City Council in the past not had the third vote to go forward with the marina.
The vision is horrible.
There are illegal aliens all over the place. The schools stink. The slums are growing. Street gangs are robbing people. Upwardly mobile people are fleeing for nicer areas rather than being trapped in a slum. The best restaurant on W. 19th Street is a free soup kitchen. Pawn shops and downscale businesses line the street. Charities are growing. Charity bosses are treated like royalty. And, now there's talk of putting a bridge in that will increase traffic in the area and which will eventually connect up with the 57 freeway and make Costa Mesa little more than a traffic island.
I say,"Clarence, this is horrible. Take me back to reality. Take me back to the Costa Mesa with the marina and beach and a nice Westside. This is a future we must not have."
Clarence replies, "This is the present. This is the reality. You were dreaming. There never was a marina. There was no third vote and the marina plan died."
I suddenly realize that Clarence hadn't come to cheer me up, but to show me that one vote on the City Council can make all the difference in the world and that citizens have to keep a careful eye on the City Council and let their voices be heard so mistakes of the past won't be repeated and so the Westside can finally be improved.
