I didn't like Clinton - I believed Bush jr would be better - maybe it's just the system - to much power concentrated in the presidency - the constitution tries to guard against it. It seems to be a natural progression.

>>>Power Corrupts<<<

Bush is a very very powerful man - perhaps the most powerful man in the history of the world - no he is the most powerful man in the world has ever seen - it is dangerous for anyone to have that much power - there is no balance of power as there was with the USSR - I know Saddam has done many evil things but most were in the Past - the USA cannot change the past

Richaaard, one thing I've noticed from those who think a war is just a great idea to get the job done: None of the warmongers gives a hoot, or is willing to admit to the cost of a war in terms of dollars over the next ten years, dead bodies, and bad PR (which in the investment world usually results in a special write off of impaired assets). Why don't you give us some numbers so that we might have confidence that war is the best alternative?
