>>I think that ultimately we have to decide if these words, these great words, that Blair and Bush are uttering are meaningful cornerstones of a new course for the world or simply a way to make sure no one blows up any more of our highrise buildings. We have to decide whether we are willing to make the sacrifices necessary to achieve those objectives. Are we willing to do without their oil? Are we willing to do without the economic growth we have grown accustomed to, while this problem is being addressed? Are we willing to do whatever it takes to ensure that education and knowledge and fairness replace repression and ignorance and corruption as the currencies and social fabrics of these countries? << I have to admit to being cynical enough to have my doubts. Especially considering the protracted nature of this battle. Rumsfeld stated it will be of "cold war" dimensions. After Viet Nam and the Cold War our battles have been short and decisive. We're not used to seeing the type of engagement and certainly not the duration that is being described.
