I am really not qualified to make such suggestions, but I would be much more comfortable with a less aggressive foreign policy from the only remaining superpower of the world. Sure you are... It's not like foreign policy is some kind of "mysterious art"... It's not... It's about human relations, money, pride, arrogance, and most of all... POWER!!.. Anyone who has ever had to stand up to individuals who were bent upon creating their own little dictatorship(or mafia), whether in the office, the neighborhood, or the local church, has some expertise in dealing with these kinds of issues... Searching for WMDs in Iraq is little different than being forced to deal with drug dealers in your local neighborhood, without the benefit of any effective police force. Think about what you would be required to do in such an instant... No police.. and the local neighborhood association is afraid of repercussions from a potential shoot out with these guys because they live closer to them.. That's international relations.. in a nutshell.. Hawk
