Anyone know HOW MUCH this Iraqi adventure is going to cost...?? The country has a record deficit and Shrub provides very little fiscal discipline. Maybe we should just give everyone another tax cut - that might help get our finances back in shape.

You wrote:<font color=blue>""NONE of the peoples of the world would be free"? That's a bit chauvinistic and suggests you have a crystal ball. Since I don't think you do, let's leave it at the "I agree" part."<font color=black> You speak out of ignorance. You feel that America had nothing to do with defeating Hitler and Japan? More important than that, America helped to rebuild Europe and Japan, which resulted in a much more stable world. Unfortunately, we allowed the current Muslim menace to get more powerful and dangerous. America had nothing to do with stopping Russia from spreading it's dominance over the entire world? America even stopped Cuba from spreading terrorism around the world. In fact, if it wasn't for the Cuban embargo, Castro would still be exporting thugs to undermine democracies around the world. It doesn't take a crystal ball to open a book on history, and read some of it. What do you base all your knowledge on, the North Korean Tribune? You wrote:<font color=blue>"Mr. Bush took on N. Korea AND Iran when he was not in the position to do so nor was he able to back up his verbal attacks with something more. Consequently, NK and to a lesser extent, Iran, are taking advantage and playing with us."<font color=black> If you are not going to open a book on history, or read a newspaper to find out what is going on, at least watch one of the news channels. If what you are saying is true, that America and President Bush can't back up verbal attacks, why is North Korea begging us not to hurt them? North Korea's first demand is that America promise not to attack them. America's great victories in Afghanistan and Iraq is making the world's brutal tyrants take notice and cower. Our victories in Iraq and Afghanistan will pay off great, invaluable peace dividends for our children and our grandchilden. Shortsighted, uninformed people like you will continue to live in a mental fog.
