No one is more opposed to Bush than me. But in all honesty I must say that the problems we face go way beyond Bush and the neo-cons. The nitty gritty is this -- almost the entire foreign policy elite -- not just the neo-cons -- supported the effort to install a US puppet regime in Iraq. Many of them did oppose the invasion, bit only in a tactical sense. Almost all of them supported the genocidal sanctions that killed a lot more Iraqis than has the Bush invasion. I note that even Senator Edward Kennedy -- in a response to the Bush state of the union -- indicated that he had supported regime change in Iraq via sanctions. I'm afraid until this imperialist ideology -- which grips almost the entire foreign policy establishment -- is shaken -- we are in for more problems overseas even if Bush is defeated. A Bush defeat is merely step number one for those who want to fundamentally change things.
