Let's take for example your statement that is so broad it has no meaning. "Take yourself for instance, you blame America's woes on mr bill." That is so non specific that it is just plain dumb. As to responsibility over time, actions of those over 10 years ago have little to do with anything today. mr. bill was the man for eight years and events occurring several month's out of his tenure while America was still on his budget go 98% to what mr. bill was had done. The President has to deal with the threats that are and the threats that are emerging. It is retarded to suggest anyone would act because the could foretell events that would occur decades later. The sequence of violence and terrorism directed at America emerged during the time of mr. bill with ever increasing violence. Any suggestion that foreign policy positions of Presidents before mr. bill created a situation that was invisible and could not be seen and taken care of is just plain stupid. you say "Everyone from, NYT, Richard Perle, to Powell, and today the New Yorker, have commented on how the U.S. now must take a role in shaping the future of that country, and not do what was done in 1989. But you call me stupid for holding that view." I have not seen you say that before and I've not called you stupid for having that opinion as I recall. But just because you string some words together about what other may have said does not mean that you read and understood what was said. In any event you are free to hold any view and say anything and I am free to call any opinion of yours stupid. As you have said, "You may not agree with it, but different points of view is what makes the world go round, and a little open mindedness for the things you do not understand or do not agree with can go along way.." Is it possible that some of your opinions are really really stupid???? tom watson tosiwmee
