John, I keep posting them because so many folks keep posting about Bush's glorious Iraq policy. The negatives are there for all to see, nobody disputes them. The "positives" are pipedreams. Right now stability in the region is breaking down, with unknown consequences that could be dire for the region, and for the world economy. Looking at it from purely selfish point of view, the best thing for people in the west would be to just wall off the entire Mid East, and just connect it to the rest of the world with one gigantic pipeline. Unfortunately, it completely ignores the fact that there are millions of people living there, for whom this idea of "stability" may not be entirely appealing. Collapse of Soviet Union created a lot of instability, and some of it persists in parts of the former empire. I think that it is a given that the world is better off as a result of that period of instability. I think that the US definitely escalated the instability started by 9/11 by attacking Iraq (one of the reasons I was against it at the time). But it seems to be turning out that maybe that is exactly what the reagion needed. Joe
