The writer below, a Republican, does not hate the president. But at least the writer below has thinking capability to offer criticism. How come none of you GOPwingers who post on this thread have this capacity?

>>>Mr. Bush might actually believe all this, but if he had been following developments in the Islamic world as long as I have he would have known that Libya and Qaddafi have been trying to reach a diplomatic solution to their differences with the USA for years -- ever since it became clear the Cold War was ending with their patrons in Moscow on the losing side. The same has been true of Iraq, Iran, North Korea and even Cuba. The problem has always been what President Eisenhower loosely called “the military-industrial complex.” That is, if the USA comes to terms with all the rogue states of the world who were aligned with Moscow or Beijing in the Cold War, there would no enemies to guard against or to defeat if they were deemed imminent threats. Public support for defense spending would dry up and the Pentagon would wind up living on crumbs, as it was in the 1930's.<<<
