Terrific post Maurice. If Condi is not confirmed you want to shoot for Secy State? Of course i dont agree with it all, but it does add a healthy dose of realism to the debate.
Regarding the debate between you and Nadine, i think it an open question on whether we would have used a different plan in iraq or not attacked at all. I think her addition to your list about transformation of the mideast is something you need to consider. Idealism some times is in line with realism. I dont get the keep oil off the markets to keep oil prices as high as an admin goal. You need to expand on this a bit. At times i look at the world as you do. I might be better off returning to my cynicism and a way from my idealism. Just like vietnam i think this war was as much spawned as much by idealism as it was by the more material, balance of power items you list.
Keep posting Mqurice. mike
