Either party, wouldn't matter, Clark is a good man ... win or lose, he'd be at least raising the general level of intelligence in foreign affairs .... Snowshoe the alaskan posted a piece on him on the Fascist Oligarchs thread a year or so ago, set me to googling up lots on Clark, he is a decent and smart guy

Shiloh, speaking of 'saddened', check out who else uses the term -

'I find myself genuinely angered, saddened and dismayed by the situation in which this nation finds itself tonight. ... Bush has clumsily and arrogantly squandered the post 9/11 support and goodwill of the entire civilized world in a manner that will make the jobs ahead of us - both the military defeat and the rebuilding of Iraq - decidedly more expensive in every sense of that word. ... '

... right on, Mister Co-Founder of VVAW, more than a few canuckistanis recall you making similarly intelligent points over thirty years ago

cfr.org <-- there is an enormous amount of good stuff linked from here

[edit] - hmm, 'Either party, wouldn't matter' [from above] ... couple minutes reflection on this, i take it back maybe .... you need a clean sweep, the whole bloody planet needs a clean sweep of Washington, you maybe can't get that from just changing the figurehead, or from influence of debate during elections, you probably have to change parties .... 'regime change begins at home', as the bumper sticker goes, it's zippy and it's bang-on sensible

General Wesley Clark

I still say that he is running for Vice President. If you note the questions that he gets asked where they ask him to comment negatively on another Democratic Presidential candidate, he always gives a nice guy answer. That style won't help him make it up to the top of the heap in the Presidential nomination fight, but it will help him stay friendly with whomever wins the nomination. And most of the Democratic candidates could use a friendly General in their corner when they take on President Bush.
