re: Zalmay Khalilzad told the daily Die Presse the Middle East was now so disordered that it had the potential to inflame the world as Europe did during the first half of the 20th century. Could be, but I doubt it. A very nasty regional was is possible. Still, for this man chosen by gw to make such as shocking statement...today I saw a news item saying that a family had lost two sons in iraq. Can you fathom pain like that? For what? Al

Could be, but I doubt it. A very nasty regional was is possible. I think the wild card is Russia. The news showed the other nite how Putin has created this youth camp where political indocrination occurs much like with the brownshirts in Nazi Germany. In fact, the red flag of the old Soviet Union flies prominently. The focus of the political rhetoric is the US and how it must be contained. As an aside, apparently all of Russia is abuzz about how Putin looks without his shirt off. On the front page of their papers, there was a photo of him working on his yard. I had thought he was a skinny wimp but in fact, he must work out with weights. I guess the Russian women now find him to be a real sex symbol......maybe that's why Bush was looking so deep into his eyes. <g>
