>>>And how, out here in the real world, is perfect peace to be achieved?<<<

The opportunity to reach out to the world following 9/11 was probably one of the most amazing doors that ever opened in history for beginning a dialogue on peace and what causes the actual breakdown of peace. That had to be the second prong of Bush's strategy of going after the terrorists.

And of terrorists, by the way, I presume you do credit the French for introducing the day after 9/11 the resolution into the United Nations that created a worldwide coalition against terrorism. How quickly those of this war's convenience forget!

Anyway, Bush never got close to the latter point: that the world was ripe for a new dialogue, a self-examination of a kind, a world conference stage unlike any ever conducted before. Previously, America had always vetoed--or refusing to support in one form or another--many of the calls that had previously been made that actually would have preempted terrorism. Don't believe me? Look at the list of US vetoes in the UN and think how the world would be different today had we accepted some of those propositions.
