Hewlett-Packard Co. (nyse: HPQ - news - people) said on Monday that it's selling a Compaq-branded PC powered by AMD Athlon XP processors. Known as the D315, the PC model is aimed at the small- and medium-business market as well as the government and education markets, and will come with either the Athlon XP 2000+ and Athlon XP 2200+ chips.

Several things could and should have been done differently. The first was coalition maintenance. The anti-Saddam consensus had been allowed to weaken. In diplomacy, neglect is almost never benign. The United States did precious little during the past few years to keep the coalition intact and robust. I'm sorry but are you this naive? It is not naive to think that any man who gets elected to the presidency will understand the importance of maintaining existing international relationships. The point is this would never have been a problem had our leadership not failed us. Aaaaaahhh, now the truth comes out..........it was the coalition that convinced Bush Sr. not to take out Saddam. You want to blame the people in this country when they had little say.........Bush Sr. caved to coalition opposition. Uh, I think you misunderstood. The article was talking about the Clinton years, not the Bush years.
