Lesson learned by countries because of Bush's dumbass actions: 'Acquire WMDs cause otherwise you are screwed'. Hmm... This is your vision of how to deal with megalo-maniacs. People with your attitude sign agreements that can't be verified, and when others violate those agreements you think political and economic sanctions will bring me back into compliance. You think you can politely negotiate with a dictator, who used violence to come to power who views you as weak. But without the deterrent effect of a credible military option, and the political will to use it, if necessary, you cannot maintain peace and good order in the face of others who want to violently dominate and oppress others. All I have to do is wait you out until you lose your resolve. Then I can do whatever I want without fear of having to answer to you or the rest of the global neighborhood. We've seen the results of your "strategy" over and over again. We saw it with N. Korea, where people like you signed an agreement that Kim Jong Il deliberately violated. We saw Saddam's intransigence exhibited against your efforts to constrain him without a credible military option. And now we're seeing you advocating the same mistake with Iran, DESPITE the fact that Ahmadinejad has VOWED to destroy the existing security and political structure in the Mid-East and replace it with one of his own making.. So maybe it's YOU, not I, who's in need of a brain transplant. Hawk
