It would be arrogant and smug for me to answer that question when there are so many classified things that I'd have to know about first. There are just SO MANY things I'd want to change (that I believe would fix a problem). I've listed many and there are more. We've spent 1.3 or 1.9 (can't remember which) on this war effort. Can you imagine how we could have changed this country by pouring that into a NASA like effort for alternative fuel? I'm not talking bio fuel! Thats nuts! We're burning food for gas? An acre of corn (don't recall where I read this) can feed 1 man for a year or it can be converted to 30 gallons of gas? We better find a different way. I'm not saying we wouldn't have gone to war! My method would have been faster, cheaper and WAY more devastating. No nukes - just round the clock bombing. The end result would have been the same - countries would have hated us - so what - they already do. I don't have all the answers - I have damn few. But after what we've seen does anyone think the jokers (THAT HAD ALL THE ANSWERS GOING IN) really have all the answers? I don't.
