Civil war is different from a convention war that could become a non-conventional war that could spread beyond the region itself into a world war.

Right now--and I truly believe I'm correct--Bush has got the table set so that most Americans think it's only a Bush is gonna take Saddam out kind of thing. I don't believe there's any level of serious deep thought as to the implications that this war could bring.

Maybe Bush, instead of visiting easy-audienced schools and naturally-supportive veterans organizations should do some grassroots education and outline the risks of such a war--how would Pakistan react? What could happen in Turkey, etc. Most folks have no idea who the Kurds are except they've heard vaguely here and there that they've been kicked around a lot. And guess what. Read the current plans. Hey, whatta ya know: the Kurds get screwed again!

Every now and then a young student will ask: Mr. President, how come we bring bombs and not food to other people? Then the president goes on about how we do give out food. But does he describe the contingencies to getting that food?

Mr. president, what's a Kurd?
