<<If you saw George W Bush during the debate, if your judgement had not been pre-determined - you would have seen an emperor with no clothes - so to speak. He was exposed for all to see.>> I watched some debate clips today and Kerry did stand up regally straight while Bush did lean on the podium. Then it struck me that Kerry appeared to be looking down his nose at everyone and Bush by leaning into the camera seemed to be more sincere. I feel your pain kind of thing.

>>If you had it to all over again, would you spend that much money, resources, and man power on Iraq? Actually, my dad is a Bush supporter. But to answer your question - this is my response. antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov You can probably recognize Japan, but that "island" of light to the left of Japan is South Korea. The black "ocean" directly above South Korea is North Korea. Notice that the only bright spot in sub-Saharan Africa is South Africa. Notice how much brighter Israel is than the rest of the Middle East, even Iran and Iraq. When Barnett talks about "the Core" vs. "the Gap", there it is in dark blue and bright white. We don't have to worry (much) about the areas on the map that are lit up. The terrorists live in the dark spots. Honestly, compared to other wars, we have not spent very much in terms of manpower or military ordinance or financial commitment. I asked you this before and never got an answer - how many American troops are worth how many Iraqi children?
