For Bush, War Defines Presidency Response to Iraq Reflects Convictions >>>>>>>"I think history will record that a remarkably strong president happened to be in office at a juncture where weapons of mass destruction and terrorism rewrote all the rules of engagement in international relations," Gingrich said.

War with Iraq will bring attack on U.S., Hart warns Ex-senator fears 'a hornet's nest' By Bruce Finley Denver Post International Affairs Writer denverpost.com <<...Former U.S. senator and possible presidential candidate Gary Hart - who led a commission that warned of catastrophic terrorism two years before the 9/11 attacks - warned on Wednesday that "we will inevitably be attacked in this country" if America wages war on Iraq. "And we are not ready for it. We are about to kick open a hornet's nest," Hart said at a Denver World Affairs Council breakfast that began a nationwide series of speeches that moves to Washington today.

You say also in the book that the first Gulf War made war more fashionable again. If your insinuation is that I believe war to be fashionable, your insinuation is misguided. I've seen my share of the pain and suffering war brings. Those who understand, hate and respect war are those who have seen it up close. If you're a physician as you state, I imagine you've seen your share of pain and suffering also. What I believe is "fashionable" today is for individuals to do what is PC .... To be quite candid, in today's world it is not PC to kill someone .... even if it means sitting by while innocent women and children are brutalized, maimed and slaughtered. Just what are the pacifists, the oh so PC doing about that Jacob? Nothing whatsoever, to be very honest. I believe in morals, in peace, in a higher destiny for all people ... and watching what goes on in our society today sickens me to be very honest. Who is worse, Saddam or those who sit by and watch what he does ? Who is worse, the Taliban or those sympathetic to their detainee plight ? I suggest you try selling your story to the women and children of Afghanistan. J
