I agree. But I keep coming to this one fact. In my lifetime, I have never seen so many stars aligning all in the same short period of time. The potential at this juncture is just huge and Bush is pressing his advantages. I'm not saying it will all come up smelling like roses, but the potential is higher than it has been at any time in the last 50 years. It just so happened that the catalyst was Bush and his hardball tactics in the Middle East. The softball tactics of the last 50 years didn't achieve squat. Like it or not, hardball presented us these opportunities. I only wish that we had a statesman with Clinton-like charm and negotiation skills to close the deal in the Middle East. Hardball got us this far, but statesmanship will have to get us the rest of the way there. Too bad we don't have Kerry right about now.
