OT Tom,
I don't usually read the National Post (conservative) in Canada nor the Toronto Star (liberal) because what they are typically completely predictable and Diane Francis is no exception... but I admit I was thinking exactly the same thing after seeing the results of the Russian hostage taking...

Reasonable middle of the road folks are just going to stop caring about anyone in Iraq or anywhere and just say wipe them out.

Bush either made a major gaff going into Iraq after Afghanistan or it is about geopolitcs and oil more than anything. If he's interested really in the big stick approach on terrorism he should have taken out Saudi Arabia.... the breeding ground. Iraq was just a flea on an elephant's ass when he went in...

The whole thing has been pretty predictable if you look at the geopolitics of the area. Russia is once again cut off from access in the Arabian sea... what a chess game... From that perspective Iran would have been a real blunder since they aren't just a paper tiger and the grounds would be even shakier...

On the home front I'm much more concerned that our Canadian government is seriously considering allowing Shariah law to gain a toehold in our legal system. Religion mixing with secular law and politics is just wrong headed and dangerous. Interestingly I find myself allied with women's groups on this one.
