<<...I believe Rumsfeld and Bush are the two most dangerous men in the US. The law of unintended consequences is gonna happen again just as it did before with the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution Training Bin Laden Forgetting to finish the job in Iraq last time when we had Arab as well as UN support I expect the retaliation next time for us messing where we have no business messing will be a nuclear or bio weapon exploded somewhere in the US The time for the US to be the world policeman is over...>> mish: Good points....unfortunately, I think you are right on target...Shrub and the NeoCons that are making the decisions in this Administration are real WarHawks...The new 'Pre-Emptive Strike' policy / Doctrine could set a precedent that we will live to regret...I am upset that the Administration is failing to work with our Allies and The UN to form a broad coalition to pressure Iraq. When is our HomeLand Security Campaign actually going to mean something..?? I wonder when we'll choose to invest in state of the art IT systems for our intelligence gathering agencies -- so they can collaborate in real time..?? I guess we'll be spending all our extra money on smart bombs and a $100 Billion war campaign to topple Saddam and engineer 'regime change' in way that may have SO MANY unintended consequences...Were Bush, Cheney, or any of the other WarHawks listening yesterday...?? Military might does NOT always solve problems. Did you notice how 3 of the 4 highly decorated retired Generals that testified before the Senate yesterday only advocated using force against Iraq after all diplomatic measures were exhausted...They feel that it is essential to build a strong and robust coalition with Allies AND work closely with The UN...They also discussed some of the dangers of going into Iraq alone...These Generals with these views were NOT lightweights either -- I'm talking about folks like General Wesley Clark (former Supreme Allied Commander for Europe)...Clark felt that there was nothing that indicated that we should rush into Iraq and by going in alone we could bolster Al Qaeda and antagonize our enemies in the Arab world...Hmmm...Some of these retired Generals make a lot of sense to me -- and I feel they have much more credibility than some of the ChickenHawks that are so eager to fight.
