DL, are you saying that the Bush administration was primarily to blame for 9/11? For that matter are you suggesting that America brought that on to itself? The single most defining event for whoever would have won in 2000 was 9/11. I don't think it can be argued that anything done after the 2000 election had anything to do with the attack because that had been planned and was in the works for years prior. I credit Bush greatly for handling the response to 9/11 very well under the circumstances. And let me add that some of those circumstances to me are the fact that he does have plenty of limitations. But the fact that he was able to take the fight to the enemy and bend over backwards to avoid making it a blanket war against Islam is admirable. The war was declared on us over 30 years ago but few wanted to address it. This struggle is far greater than one administration, two or even three. The Islamists certainly don't see it as a fight just against Bush but rather a long term effort to overcome. WS, the reason I mention the Iran angle is because I remembered how important that issue was to you before we took down Hussein. Dealing with our enemies has been done and is being done through alternate channels as you point out. I am plenty aware of that and I think that is the correct approach. However, Obama's plan strikes me as extremely naive in that it seems to ignore the nature of the leadership of Iran. What would he hope to achieve by talking to them? What makes him think that he could do any better than the Europeans who have had open talks with them for years now with nothing to show for it? It's a very bad sign about Obama's understanding and judgement. Another huge one for me was his comment about invading Pakistan. It blows my mind that someone who touts never having supported the war in Iraq from day one would flippantly propose invading an ally nation. I find this to be extremely worrying and irresponsible. And for the record, I never favored military action against Iran that was you. I still believe we have a good chance of getting the people of Iran to rise up against their oppressive government. I believe the younger Iranians are rather pro-Western and would love to be free from the current situation if they had enough support. So, no, I do not support military action in this case. I think that should be our last resort. But I must add that they simply cannot be allowed to have nuclear weapons so if military action is the only way to achieve that then so be it. . . . : [url=http://www.bugimus.com][img]http://www.bugimus.com/sigs/small-sig1.gif[/img][/url] : . .
