"by the way, canucks supported Wilson quite wholeheartedly, we absolutely do not support Bush, so pick out the difference and there's your problem du jour in foreign policy ..."

Perhaps thats because one country is a superpower with great responsibilities and the other is not. I am not making value judgement here just stating something obvious. I am also not defending excesses of neocons either in achieiving lofty goals. Balance of power is somwthing they may have forgotten about but i dont impugn their motives as you do. About the dems you nailed it. So what is needed? A party that is internationalist and realist, compassionate and tough, and most of all effective and smart. Neither party there today at all and the republicans now seem to be making the same mistake that the dems once did--appealing to bases and letting middle slip away. Only reason it is not fatal is that the dems still think FDR is alive and has all the answers. Thus the coming transformation of one party or if they stay on extremes, the filling of the vacuum with a third party led by guys like McCain, Bayh, Hillary, Giuliani, Powell, Lieberman, even Arnold.

PS On the israel/arab thing you need to be more objective and less quick to demonize. This is probably something the two of us should avoid in our discussions.
