Are you saying Bush could have done a better job getting the U.N. on-board? Incredible that you would ask. The easter bunny could have done a better job of diplomacy on iraq and nearly all else. Al

I don't know. Frankly, it's not that I think Bush went into Iraq too quickly. It's that I think his administration lacks the salesmanship capabilities of previous administrations. For instance, if it had been JFK, Reagan, Bush Sr., or Clinton who was advocating an second invasion of Iraq, I bet they would have had the whole world clamoring to help us. Bush Jr. did a poor job of selling the idea to the world and then getting world support for it. So what I'm saying is that BUSH JR. couldn't have done a better job of getting the U.N. on board, but maybe a more diplomatically capable President could have. Just this life-long Republican's humble opinion.
