"I am willing to give him the benefit of the doubt." As am I! but of course as thinking people this is hard to do. It is hard to accept that we know only a portion of the facts and that our current views might not be our views if we knew all the facts. I learned that lesson well during the Vietnam period. Does anyone find it strange that the military now seems to be the most conservative group(small c) when it comes to going to war. Thats a good thing and makes me believe the administration will act with restraint but ultimately do all that is necessary. mike

Why couldn't we have nuked Mt. Fuji or something?
