GZ, I think your approach like some others does not solve the problem at hand. The US is passing through very dangerous times where organized belligerency, a voice of the minority is what we hear. It raised its head with the Florida recount, manifested itself in DC with the breakout of the Iraqi invasion, raised its head again with the California recall where these forces are trying to foist a clown (Hasta La Vista) approach. My friend, solutions to world's problems are not akin to what we see in the movies. It is not as easy as attacking Iraq and claiming victory prematurely. Those terrorist bastards (Islamist terrorists and not the likes of the Japanese Red army or Bader Meinhof) are very well organized worldwide. UN bombing in Baghdad, suicide bombing in Israel, etc. tell a story. The Bush henchmen claimed victory over Syria when Syria closed its borders to fleeing wanted Iraqis. Bush has failed to come to grips with the terrorist problem. He needs to work with the world community; France, Germany and Russia in particular. In fact it should be very easy for him to work with Russia because of their Chechnya problem. But he cannot work with them from a position where he and he only can dominate with them to formulate approach and policy towards the war on terrorism. But hey, who the hell are folks like myself who get very conveniently branded as liberals when we express our opinion which we believe makes sense. We can only sit back and watch in amazement and sometimes in amusement when the ballet team members lead by Cheney/Rumsfeld/Wolfowitz perform their crazy dance. I am just sitting back and watching how the bombing of the UN building in Baghdad is achieving its sole political purpose of the terrorists which is widen the rift between the US and the world and force US' hand in admitting that their policy in Iraq has failed. Happy viewing.
