Scott: Re Thomas Friedmans article. I dont consider that a condemnation of US / Bush actions, but more a discussion of related problems. The 911 attack was the final straw from a long string of terrorist events. Calling for a new course of action determined by government advisors and including President Bush. To implement the action and initially get on course with public support and present a precisely clear single minded, do or die program to the public with some chance that it would distract the Press from their never ending debates over politics and who would govern which State or coverage of murder trials required the that the President define and state the goal. ( Its them or us) To accomplish any worthwhile goal requires serious dedication , as well -expressed in books by Lance Armtrong and Bruce Jenner. If one can clearly state a worthy goal, one can get an amazing amount of support for it, and Mr Bush certainly did - from countries with similar goals or problems in the UN, from Congressmen, and even from Arab countries allowing use of their land, airfields or airspace. All else is secondary to the main goal , and consideration and resolution of problems discussed by Thomas F are hopefully being worked on. Our country is still hamstrung quite a bit by morals and ethics ( we dont torture, starve, beat, or make slaves of the enemy soldiers). It is only as a very last resort that we will bomb a building labeled a hospital even if it contains only a nuclear laboratory and no patients. I hope a few reporters (those who stood on the balcony of a hotel in downtown Bagdad to watch the action as precise missile strikes from a variety of Nations took out nearby targeted sites ) -are still around to counter the presentation of others claiming the US has an "inhuman" warfareing nature. .
