As far as Congressmen cheating on there wives, that is nothing new and is deplorable considering that they are the ones who should be setting an example. As far as invading Saudi Arabia, I don't think that will be necessary. We have plenty of leverage to use against them diplomatically. I've said time and again, and Democrats say the same thing, that every country and every situation is different. We need to use all of the tools in our toolkit to solve all of our national security concerns. For some, that means diplomacy. For others, it means covert ops and military action. Bush's failing is he jumps to military action too quickly and doesn't even bother with diplomacy, which in my opinion, is like fighting with one hand behind your back. But at the end of the day, whether we have a good President or a bad one, a Republican President or a Democrat, North Korea and the Middle East will still represent the most challenging security issues facing this country. To ignore that fact is to act like and ostrich with your head in the sand.
