To Brumar...Brumar I know how long we have been dicking around in the ME, essentially since just before WWI. the reason, Geopolitics, Oil..... we have been there for close to 100 years... every 4 or 8 years our priority and style of involvement there changes with our new President and his administration, and that is at the crux of our difficulty in dealing with the Tribal families and Monarchies of the area. they see it as meddeling, we see it as protecting our oil interest's... with Jimmy Carter, Stansfield Turner... in the 1970's... things began taking a turn for the worse. continuing botched foreign policy in the ME for the next 30 years finally culminates in the 9-11 atrocity... now under Bush/Rumsfeld we continue to screw things up in the ME....we will effect a few feints towards a bastard form of Democracy but it will be superficial. the only true change in the ME will have to come from education and it will be a generational evolvment,way beyond my lifetime if at all. I suspect the eventual form of government in the ME will be as they have in Jordan, a benevolent, dynastic, Monarchy...it fits the mindset of the people. What we are faced with in the short term is countermeasuring the radical Islamic fundamentalist's that are so destructive to USA and themselves and their own.... I simply disagree with the methods and policies of how we should deal with these events and threats... I am for present and continuing massive covert action in the area, causing a permanent economic leverage over their Monarchs and masses.... Bush/Rumsfeld are amatures that have fugged up and are now trying to claim a victory in the name of bringing Democracy to the ME...a joke. and its all going to change again in a few years with another new President and administration..... Short term bottom line is Kill as many of the bad guys as possible, let the chips fall where they may. regards
