Oh Karen, I hope that you are correct. It seems to me the intrusion into Iraq increases daily as our preemptive war to end all wars continues. Most of you who post here bespeak a caliber of individuals so far superior to the name throwers who call those of us who dare to dissent liberals and cheese eating whatevers.( I don't quite understand it means...) But the posts that are represented here are so informative. Thank you all. Suma

I find it difficult to comprehend why Bush doesn't understand he's leading everyone to a war that may last at least 10-15 years, in cycles, and would leave the world a lot worse.....creating fanatics out of moderates on both sides, it will leave America a lot worse for that matter..... I bet China emerges as a new superpower by the year 2025....not a very comforting thought at all.... But then, I've been reading a lot of Greek Literature lately, and the following sentence keeps popping up....and i keep repeating it.... "Those whom the Gods wish to destroy, they first make them mad...." and i think to myself - well, 12 years ago, it was the Iraqis who had turned mad with their attack on Kabul and the blazing fires of oil wells that led to their complete destruction. This time its the US govt thats going mad. Can the destruction be far behind? I bet if there is a WW-III like situation, Pakistani public will overthrow Busharrif and hand over their Nuclear arms to the arab world more than willingly......... Its a sorry state of affairs....i wonder if our kids will emerge out of this alive and with a future worth living.... Bush seems to be spreading catastrophy like a cancereous cell....
