Sun....great post...about the best analysis I have read about the mis-adventures of US foreign policy.

Here is the brick wall for US policy.

With special forces and the help of other special forces from other countries, terrorists can be tracked down and killed.

But destabilizing governments gets a whole more complicated and unpredictable.

Not too long back we could not destabilize Cuba and that was only 90 miles from out shoreline. When I used to hike around the jungles of Africa, I used to think what would happen if a 1000 American Military men showed up to straighten things out. My conclusion was that the jungle and the land would swallow them up without a trace

Bush's promise to go after the terrorists and the governments that harbor them.....the first half he will be successful at....the second part is pretty chancy. But lets give him a chance and a vote of confidence.

Regards, Jerome
