JF, As it stands, the Muslim extremists can make a convincing (if not accurate) argument that we, in conjunction with Isreal, are instigating a religious war. And that plays into the hands of the OBL's of the world. What doesn't play into the hands of the bin Ladens of the world? When their world view is more fundamentalist than ours, obviously they're going to think it's a religious war. There can be no peace without victory. Tenchusatsu

I said "The fact is that every US president since WW2 has managed to get NATO support..." Thats rather unspecific. It could mean that the force was commited by NATO, it could mean that NATO as an organization formally supported the action, it could mean the majority of nations in NATO supported the action with words or deeds but as seperate nations not as NATO, or it could mean that some NATO countries supported the action. I think you mean the third. If so I'm not sure that the majority of NATO countries expressed support for our actions in Vietnem, Granada, and Panama. Tim
