Do you see any problems with the current Bush Admin. foreign policy initiatives...?? Just wondering.

I think Bush sees Saddam as a real threat, particularly after 9/11, and is working to remove the threat. Everything else he is doing right now follows from that assessment. He has shifted his arguments because he took Henry Kissinger's advice how to go about gaining his objective.

My worries line up behind Ken Pollack's -- that the adminstration doesn't have the foresight or stomach for occupation and nation-building in Iraq. In a macabre way, I have to fear that the war in Iraq will be too easy -- without an investment of blood, the Americans won't want to stay and clean up the mess. Nonetheless, better a war now than letting Saddam, or even worse, Uday, get their hands on nukes. I live in fear of seeing a mushroom cloud over Tel Aviv or Washington DC.
