Kerry doesn't enter into this issue at the moment. The issue is this: There
are people who actually understand Middle East culture and politics. These
people are not radicals or politicos. They are native scholars of the exact
same type that our government sometime consults with here. But, they're from
universities and think tanks in places like Egypt, and our government places
no value on what they say. What do they say? The Middle East is what it is,
and no amount of force can change that. Only time will bring it around to
the picture Bush has in his delapidated brain. Trying to accelerate it is as
absurd as if Turkey, in 1875, decided we were mistreating Native Americans
and tried to invade and change the situation. That would not have changed
our way of thinking.

In Iraq, we are in effect taking a can of peas, slapping a label on it that
says "chicken soup", and wondering why the can still contains peas.

Doug,
At times I do look at the world through slightly tinted rose colored
glasses. ; )

I do agree that all politicos are crooks, but there is a world of
difference between Bush and Kerry. I for one would prefer a moderate
Republican or Democrat over the two extremes we had to chose from in the
last election.

Annoy Conservatives: Share!

Harry,

This pretty much sums up your attitude towards politics and all inter
personal relationships. You really don't want to make any changes in
the world or US politics, you want to annoy Conservatives.

If everyone in the US agreed with your political agenda, you would
change your politics just so you could annoy as many people as possible.


Perhaps you view the world through rose colored glasses. The line "Meet
the new boss - same as the old boss" is often true, especially when the
new boss' motives are the same as before, with a little window dressing.
