Hi michael97123; Re: "Backing down now may be the beginning of the end for the free, democratic, pluralistic world." (1) If the democratic world truly is supposed to be pluralistic, then why all the vicious complaints about France, Germany and Russia, all of them democratic countries, expressing their opinions contrary to the Bush administration? The truth is that democracy and pluralism is not what Bush wants. The total number of people who voted for Bush was what, around 25 million? And for that he feels he should run a world with many thousands of millions of people? (2) Pulling 200,000 troops back from Kuwait, in the face of Iraq's continuing disarmament is hardly a disastrous loss of face. We're getting what we want (disarmament). Maybe not as fast as Bush would like, but there is no doubt that we are making progress. Compare this to our pulling 10x that many troops out of Vietnam without getting a damn thing for it. And that didn't exactly destroy the free world. -- Carl
