Wasn't at one point your argument that the way to deal with terrorism was to go after "root causes", such as poverty and tyrany? Shouldn't you be happy about the US spending money on rebuilding the economy of Iraq? That's funny! How much of the $4 billion per month do you think is spent on reducing proverty in Iraq and how much do you think is spent maintaining a 150k army which is doing a poor job of maintaining the peace? Hint: the former is a very small percentage compared to the latter. Another clue is the increasing numbers of Islamic 'warriors' joining the fight in Iraq. OBL's recruiting efforts have improved mightily in the past year. Or are you still stuck with "Everything Bush does is bad", and change your position based on what he does? Bush's performance is much worse than I ever expected. He is probably the worse president in the past 50 years. Most everything he does is wrong or off based as we're finding out slowly but surely. Thanks for asking! ;~) ted
