bgates, yes, I’ll concede to you that your argument is stronger than mine (at least to the voters) so that’s why Bush is in power. He gets to implement his policy and run amok.
If you were so sure of the Bush Doctrine, you’d be confident in success; and you wouldn’t even care to debate with us dissenters. We are insignificant in Bush’s great scheme because he knows that he’s got the final answer.
Like I said before, Bush and his supporters have the upper hand. I’m happy to let history be the judge. My feeling is that, like Real Estate, Iraq will become an intractable problem. People will be brought back down to earth but they will still walk with their heads held high (at least in public when window shopping at the mall).
