>> CEO's don't initiate programs and ideas? Don't synthesize divergent viewpoints into consensus? Based on the reaction of the American people and the US Congress, it would appear that GWB has done just that. >> I see no reason to suspend my powers of observation about what real actions get taken in comparison to rhetoric about action nor my judgment about whether those actions are wise, advisable, effective, and justified. Fine, but my own powers of observation lead me to conclude that your comment, I have to say that "punishing the evil-doers" sounds like something out of grade school, though stands in sharp contrast to your stated intent to "lend my support, such as it is, to the joint action of the country." Apparently your primary objection to Bush is that you don't know which portions of the recently formulated policy originated from the President himself. I doubt if you'll receive such an accounting, since it would be detrimental to his ability to command. uf
