Hi Gina, I would agree that George's posts may make him appear as an apologist for the fanatics. That having been said, he does bring up some interesting points. Some American foreign policy decisions have obviously been at the root of some of the problems. I have never understood why Bush Sr. didn't take out Saddam when he had the chance. Was it possibly to use him as a counterweight to prevent a fundamentalist regime from replacing a democratically installed government in Iraq due to the power vacuum which would have surely ensued or as a buffer against Iran, or a little of both. There are many issues like this. Obviously in the Man bites dog case (Libya) the actions taken were sufficient but Saddam is obviously a different animal. I'm none too comfortable North of the border as I'm sure we don't look all that different from you guys to someone half a world away and indeed we are not. These guys need to be eradicated, but how to prevent new ones from being bred when we are assisting in the breeding process. It's the reoccurrence issue that I'm also concerned with and much of George's theme addresses that very issue. regards Kastel a cute and cuddly Canadian
