"I think the US's stature in the world has suffered from our approach to the Iraq war." Been there done that with you already. So far in our discussion, you have already said the following..... "I am concerned that the American government frequently acts without sufficiently thinking about the consequences." "....the Bush administration’s motivation is true, they have done a terrible job of presenting it to, and convincing, the American public, to say nothing of the rest of the world." "....to act without regard to the opinions of others is really dumb." "Bush et al have not done a good job selling Iraq to America. Do you really think they have? How come approximately half the populace doesn't buy his argument?" "if you are going to risk antagonizing the vast majority of people on our planet your logic better be damned tight" "Please comment on the following two items..... The administration of United States President George W Bush "systematically misrepresented" the threat posed by Iraq's weapons of mass destruction (WMD)".... "Secretary of State Colin Powell reversed a year of administration policy, acknowledging Thursday that he had seen no “smoking gun [or] concrete evidence” of ties between former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein and al-Qaida." "I agree more with the administration's approach towards North Korea than Iraq, finding the massive international peer pressure more palatable than going it (almost) alone." "I have mixed feelings about the Bush administration which I think frequently ignores common sense and acts in its own selfish interest" "In our confrontation with North Korea we have the support of North Korea's neighbors, the Chinese and Japanese..... What Arab neighbor of Iraq's has lent support to our Iraq policy? Unlike North Korea, why does our Iraqi policy look like an "us vs them" battle."
