Well, I've said to you already that I favor the U.S. staying in Iraq (now that the dice have been rolled) until maximum opportunity has been realized. Yeah, they had better. The situation could get a whoe lot worse, and fast, in spite of what Soup and many others claim. As to the solution to world problems of terrorism and savagery, well--it is obviously a problem larger than any one country. I have said that a united framework for action must be detailed and addressed. Shaking your head and saying, "it can't be done," certainly ensures that it won't. You are very good at showing the obstacles but I'm afraid that looking at obstacles does not work through them. Exactly what DO you propose to get around the bribery of France and Russia? All the major powers certainly recognize the threat of terrorism and WMD. So it is a matter of dialogue, persuasion, manipulation of self interest, etc., etc., etc. They do? Calling France a "major power", while satisfying their need for flattery, is quite a stretch. Russia? Just where were they?
