guess Ted and Ali would like the USA to take an "international poll" and then based on that make a decision on how to deal with Sadam. I'm sure this is how "Slick Willy" would have done it ... But making decisions based on polls is not leadership ... This is "followership". Absolutely. The test of a true leader is whether he has the guts to take action AGAINST the polls when necessary. This is what made Clinton & Carter such horrible, weak leaders, and why Reagan, Bush I, and Bush II are such excellent ones.

In fact, you'd have to put Saddam up there with the great leaders.....he didn't take a poll either when he invaded Kuwait. ted
