Jim,
re: Like I said, GWB has the opportunity to clean this up. This includes sitting heavy on the Israel-Palestine problem and establishing more democracies in the region...then backing off and actually protecting our borders. This includes those who would move here and still be aligned to some foreign power.
OTOH, I think their will always be anti-US factions. These however can be reduced.
Pure fantasy. I had a "discussion" today with a guy who thought GW was going to systematically "liberate" every oppressed country in the world. That the US military was going to establish a new world order.
There is a huge amount of pre-war arrogance going around. It's probably going to increase, if things go well in the war. If things don't go well, if a lot of our kids die, we will be less arrogant. Maybe a few decent folks will even mourn, say a prayer for, the innocent Iraqi's that die in this thing.
re: OTOH, I think their will always be anti-US factions. These however can be reduced.
Yea, like France, Germany, and the rest of the free world.
