Sorry- I'm disoriented with threads. I did not expect Brian here. Moreover, I, of course, have political opinions. The Dalai Lhama may support the invasion of Iraq if it leads to reduced suffering. He condemned the Saddam regime. Having said that, I'm appalled at the lack of a coherent victory plan by the Bushies. They admitted they were prepared for humanitarian aid, but not for getting rules enforced. So far, there has been no event that was not predicted on this thread. Time, if not used for active intervention, will lead to the opposition getting organized and matters will get far worse. This week's C-Span had both Republican and Democratic ex-diplomats evaluate the UN (and foreign policy) and Bush was criticized for not using diplomacy effectively to gain an alliance. Richard Holbrooke was especially frank and informative. We're screwed with increasing opposition in Iraq, alienation of the world, and a deficit, caused by "Welfare for the Wealthy," that will be a major burden to our children. I'm glad Bush is against "Nation Building". fred
