Of course you know: The WORLD is not the least bit "outraged" at the US for liberating Iraq. The world's MEDIA-which is committed to Marxist/leninist principles-is outraged. CNN is outraged. NBC is outraged. John Kerry is outraged (and freightened). It's the same old left wing lie: What the misfit journalists write is what everybody thinks. NOTHING could be further from the TRUTH...

"I believe Bush is a poor diplomat, that is my opinion." Your opinion is flawed by some irrefutable facts. France & Russia, both said they would veto ANY UN RESOLUTION THAT THREATENED THE USE OF FORCE. Germany supported these two countries. That made any resolution to force Iraq to disarm useless. Now we know that France, Russia & Germany had billions of dollars of outstanding contracts that were very beneficial to these countries. We now know that Russia & France were illegally supplying Iraq with illegal military supplies & equipment; France as recently as two months ago & Russia continued as fighting began in the war. Bush went to the UN, unlike Clinton in multiple acts of aggression. Bush played fair & worked hard to secure a reasonable, peaceful solution to disarm Iraq. Several UN members worked hard to block the US at every turn. Now we know why. Now how is it that Bush failed at diplomacy?

I believe that Bush understand when there is a need for diplomacy and when there is a need for action. If it is time for diplomacy and he isn't in the mood, he will send in Colin Powell. I suspect that the world didn't have the outrage with kosovo because they couldn't throw the oil strawman up as the motivation for the action. And frankly, I don't think that it would matter what Bush said or did, the vast majority of the Euros and Democrats would condemn him. I have seen people bitch and moan about the fact that there was no real threat from OBL post-9/11 because there haven't been any follow-up terrorist actions. No credit is given that maybe the administration's efforts to stave off terrorism has been successful. So basically, if we are attacked again by terrorists or if WMDs are used against our troops he will be villified for not neutralizing the threat and if we aren't attacked by terrorists and not attacked with WMDs, he will be villified for overreacting to the threat. Wasn't that Chamberlain guy a skilled diplomat?
