Mr. Bush needs to grow up! If people don't like him, tought titty. He has a responsibility to maintain what's in the best interest of the United States, not his ego. So it's in our best interest to forget about our best interests and kiss France and Germany's asses? And it is definitely not in our best interests to be estranged from our biggest and closest allies We're not. The UK is with us. Most of "new Europe" is with us. What has France ever done for us? I recently heard a commentator mention that "going to war without France is like going deer hunting without an accordion". That pretty much sums it up. Is that what you all want.......a major war? No, we want Hussein disarmed. France and Germany don't seem to want that. Do you have any reason to believe that this time around the Iraqi military won't be surrendering to news crews again? The only issue would be if Iraq is dumb enough to use WMD this time. Brian

Bush is a novice statesman who needs some serious training.......fast! Throughout history I seriously doubt we've ever had a more competent foreign policy team. The glue that holds it together is Condaleeza Rice, arguably the most intelligent and knowledgeable person to ever hold the NSA position. This woman can only be categorized as brilliant. Did you see that nitwit Madelyn Albright on Russert's show? She looked like a damned fool -- even Russert chewed her up and spit her out. Schwartzkopf looked like he wanted to grab her and strangle her.

Ted Re..And what you all seem to have in common is you want it your way.....and only your way. When it involves national security, as this does, is there any other way our president should act, in the best interests of the US as he sees fit. Bush is a novice statesman who needs some serious training.......fast! That would be true of any president. Your point is. And the reason.....Bush's ego is way bent out of shape because the Europeans didn't take to him from the get go. When some european leaders start comparing Gw to Hitler, what do you think Gw should do; thank them for the praise. Furthermore, you don't send a jackass like Rumsfield who learned his sense of diplomacy in Miss Piggy's school for wayward boys over to try and make nice nice. What makes you think Rumsfeld went over there to make nice. You can't play politics when national security is at stake. The europeans want to play politics while Saddam and OBL are getting together with enough power to threaten the world, and you think we should play nice. Get real. The world needs to wake up and smell the coffee. Saddam, when combined with Al qaeda could devastate a lot of the world. We need to put our petty partisian politics aside and face the threat, or face the realization, we could be consumed by the threat. Is that what you all want.......a major war? Surely you aren't saying the battle with Iraq would be a major war. Isn't that belittling WWI or WWII. A little 4 day war, with about 30,000 casualties would be a pissing match compared to WWII. If we let OBL combine with Iraq, as he said yesterday, and goes after SA, and 4 or 5 other arab nations, then we will see a major war. OBL announced yesterday the race is on for the control of the middle east. We had better start to take him seriously.
