What an excellent display of 20/20 hindsight. You didn't think that was unethical then? I suppose the tens of thousands of nuclear missiles that America and the Soviet Union had pointed at each other wasn't an overriding concern, was it? We don't care who pays what price, as long as our aim is met. Look at Afghanistan for example. The goal was to humiliate the USSR...no matter what devil we had to make a pact with, or which little people we had to use to do it. Al

Al, You supported Reagan didn't you? He did far worse. He supported both sides when they were fighting each other. What an excellent display of 20/20 hindsight. I suppose the tens of thousands of nuclear missiles that America and the Soviet Union had pointed at each other wasn't an overriding concern, was it? Now that we're paying the price of supporting the "lesser of two evils," let's fix it while we still have a chance. And with Saddam gone and Iraqis on the verge of democracy, I'll wager that we won't need to drop one bomb in Iran. Where is the logic in the post of above? The election was won by a party whose head is an Iranian. He is now the strongest man in all of Iraq and will pick Iraq's president. He will have a strong influence in the writing of Iraq's constitution. There is the hope he will keep his distance from Iran but how likely is that. So what do you think has been fixed? If there was any doubt Iran was our enemy, Bush has made sure of obliterating that possibility. Not only that but he appears to have pushed the Iraqis into the waiting arms of the Iranians. And you talk about bombs? One bomb and what remaining good will we have among the Iraqis will be lost. Shias will join the insurgency. You claim you are against some of Bush's most important policies.........such as his drug plan, the invasion of Iraq, his opposition to stem cell research etc but that you voted for him because Kerry was so bad. Well what would it take to get you to vote for someone else..........Bush detonating a nuke?!! I don't get it. You are man of science and yet, you support the most illogical, unscientific president to hit in a long time. Sorry but it doesn't make a lot of sense to me. ted
