Marcos, The crux of our differences over US foreign policy is in the way the threat is viewed. Given the way you view it, your solution might have proved better. But if you view terror, terror states, totalitarians as an organic problem, it all becomes part of a larger war that all democracies should be onboard with. Because the wmds have not yet been located, Iraq rebuilding seems stuck in the mud, and a guerilla war of sorts seems to have begun, your leftist/oldC conservative view has to be given consideration. Of course if the neocons are right on the organic nature of the terror threat, you folks become quite naive waiting for a democratic international system to decide these things--sort of fiddling while rome burns. I am less sure than i was right in supporting this war but nowhere near the tipping point yet. Keep working on me though. All i ask in return is that you concentrate on the real issues and you have done a better job at that than some of your leftist bretheren. Now if you could only get the blinders off regarding the Izzie/Pal thing. mike
