This is cheap shot garbage...it presupposes that there is only one way of changing the world Right. Safire is known for his cheap shots. China are prime example that this smoke'em out policy is unnecessary. What is the threat that requires the US to take such drastic measure? What is the immediacy that requires us to be so impatient? What is the crisis that requires us to be so politically clumsy? These questions have all been answered ad nauseum on this thread. The question you ought to be asking [yourself] is, "Why can't I see this obvious fact"?

Al Re ..This is cheap shot garbage... We know Al, anyone and everyone who disagrees with your position is garbage. Perhaps it is you who is wrong, and everyone else is sane. Besides, the NYT, that bastion of liberalism printed it. Then do you consider the NYT to be thrash. Russia and China are prime example that this smoke'em out policy is unnecessary. It would suggest that Russia, and China, as communist nations, are against capitalism and democracy, and anything that furthers democracy's expansion. What is the threat that requires the US to take such drastic measure? What is the immediacy that requires us to be so impatient? What is the crisis that requires us to be so politically clumsy? Said in true yes but form. I would think that if you are trying to disavow yourself from being a yes but man, you would quit being one. I don't know about your company, but I can say that the one guy I don't want being in charge of my crews, it is a yes but man. Nothing gets done, and time is money. Yes but men can only be followers, or in our business, laborers, the guy doing the manual labor, not the one doing the thinking.
