"You think maybe he's on something?"

Yes. I don't believe in spontaneously generated utopias. But, we will never know for certain if he was right or wrong, now that we've taken a stand and unseated corrupt and evil tyranny.

After GW1, Bush I and Clinton back burnered Iraq. They kept up the sanctions and the no-flies...that was it. No one seemed to care about any progress in Iraq. Saddam was inconsequential to the US.

Ok then now in the post 9-11 world. In the confusion of bad intelligence a new approach was needed...we all agree on that. Where we differ is on the nature of the approach.

Winger neo-cons - Bomb the hell out of anyone that looks or even smells like a terrorist.

Progressives - We need additional military strength in the area right now, go after bin Laden with full military force, strengthen our diplomatic efforts, reopen sleeping demands of Saddam, gather our allies and especially the moderate Arab nations, re-visit the Palestine Israel issues.

I don't have to explain what we got...Iraqmire.
