Alighieri Re..Please explain your words in the middle of my two paragraphs. Where is the inconsistency between these paragraphs from two different posts by the way? You say you want to settle the Palestinian problem, pressure the Saudis and finish the Afghhanistan problem. By taking control of Iraq, installing a provisional gov. (such as the one in Japan after WWII)to help set up a democratic gov. establsh a legislature, a national army, and draft their constitution and pass a basic set of laws; the US could go a long way in solving all three of your listed problems. You have yet to explain how GW could possibly solve the Palestinian issue without solving the terrorist problem first; how to put pressure on Saudi Arabia, and how to finance all of the reforms needed in the middle east. Typical democratic bluster; sort of like you guys demanding a better economy with nary a suggesting about how to proceed. As a side note, Kerry was on Meet The Press Sunday, and he meet all of the democratic requirements for being all talk and no bite. He claimed he could run the war on terrorism better, provide health care, leadership on education, etc, without one single suggestion as to how he would accomplish it. We should take his word for it. What incredible reasoning. Invading Iraq will show Afghanistan the way to democracy What, you haven't heard of Germany or Japan. In both countries, which we defeated by the way in WWII, just in case you haven't heard,we installed provisional governments, and lent the money and expertise to set up democracies, and get the economy functioning. Both countries are two of the mostsuccessful economically and pacifist countries in the world now. Why would you feel that it is impossible to follow that subscription for success in Iraq. After we humiliate another of their countries, reshape every Muslim's sacred land into a democracy, Why would it humiliate Iraq. Does Afghanistan feel humiliated now. If anything would make the arabs humble it is the thought that the country they love to hate, is the very same country saving half of them from starvation. Without food aid, Egypt and Afghanistan would be starving. Also you said that Al Qaida came about from a clash of cultures. Just whom do you think will win in this clash. In the end, the arab culture will have to be bought into the 21st century, as the arab nations can't even feed themselves, much less defeat us. Great plan. I finally get it. Thanks; and now that you dems know what a plan is, instead of just simply criticising everybody elses plan, please tell me your plan for solving the problems you said exist in the middle east.
