"I am saying that the US alienated its allies by adopting a policy that was impossible for any other country to support --a policy of "regime change"."

Why is it impossible for them to accept regime change as a general policy in certain cases eg. milosevec? If good guys knocked off NK nutcase, would any tears be shed? Perhaps it has more to do with the extreme military power advantage the US has over all nations that is at the crux of it. I, for one, would applaud and EU with Teeth. In that sense i support the french view of several points of power--US, EU, China, Russia etc. I, for one, am uncomfortable with new world order that give US tremendous responsibilities with little world support. We may be the military superpower of the world but that does not make us any smarter than other serious nations. If there were more democracies with a military component, it might me a better situation. I would like to hear the reply of neocons here as well as war opponents. Sorry for the rant--just thinking outloud on a wonderful saturday afternoon in NJ. mike
