Here, this might help: Message 21443677 Now my voew on a number of these points are already known: Iraq was an unjustified screw-up. But we're there now. Our choices are pull out and get a mess, or try to straighten things out. If we can. There we really concur. We ran into that war without a plan as to what would happen if things id not go as we had expected which obviously they haven't. I truly don't see an end to the insurgency and agree with Rumsfeld.... maybe 12 years ? Are we prepared for that. Where is the money to come from. We have to face a reality here. We're not Nazis. We hate Nazis. Bush and/or the US gov't were not behind 911. CYBER and his "LET's intern all the Democrats" are nuts. Reply: I read all of the things posted and form my own opinions but admit I do have a hard time with conspiracy theories...What has transpired is bad enough. We don't need to add to the neurosis..and fear.. Bush is not going to bring you a polce state. I don't think he recognizes that by classifying everything and preventing public access he is making things look suspicious... If there is nothing to hide.. be open. Answer questions to all reporters.... Be prepared for the unexpected and don't fear making a mistake on a reply. He gets himself so worked up that on TV the other day he said he wanted Palestine and Iraq to live peacefully. I think he intended to say Israel... A draft is a terrible idea. Men who will willinly do the jon are better. But if we threw a war and no one came we would have to recruit... What choice is left... This isn't a police state. You ptove it every day. AMd it won't be if we have anything to say about it. As a matter of fact, many of us disagree with the President, particularly when it comes to illegal immigration and deficit spending. Basically, agree. I don't see that you can fight a war without deficit spending, though. My hurt comes from when I think of all the things that that money could have benefited the American people here at home. That we are more important than rebuilding a Iraq...and though I know it has become our albatross to do so even though Bush says they have to do it. Their retort.. Establish a BUSH PLAN like the MARSHALL PLAN... This was the retort of the Prime Minister...
