>>I have mostly read K's columns on foreign policy, which are totally orthodox neocon stuff. And I am not terribly impressed by people who claim to know how to solve the problems of the world without having been there or done much.<< Dale - I do take your point about armchair quarterbacks. However, I must also mention a couple of things. A good friend of mine has been a quadriplegic since she she was 22. In the years since then she has been a "standup" comic, played a regular character on a soap opera, played a regular character on a sitcom, and has also written and performed a one woman show called "I Had to Break My Neck to Get Here." A fellow by the name of Stephen Hawking has also accomplished quite a bit and seen much of the world, despite being confined to a wheelchair. Obviously, it's a valid criticism to point out that Krauthammer has no foreign policy experience. But the wheelchair is irrelevant. - Allen
