Christmas Wishes

For Christmas, 1971, John Lennon and Yoko Ono released "Happy Christmas (War Is Over)," whose last verse is:

A very Merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let’s hope it’s a good one
Without any fear
War is over, if you want it
War is over now.
Christmas, 1971, we had 157,000 troops in Vietnam. Eight months later we had none, and seven months after that, we stopped fighting that war.

Currently, we've got just under 160,000 troops in Iraq.

Sooo. I know what my Christmas wish is; what's yours?
