Okay, I believe it, Homey...

But, like Amos, I'd like to see a major shift in our foriegn policy that deals more with the protection of people and less the destruction of people...

When Bush rattles his sabre it does what it is intended to do and that is to scare other countries... This is not helpful if we expect other countries to not try to find ways to protect themselves from attacks... I have said it before and I'm sure I'll say it again... If I am the leader of a threatened country I'd be looking for ways to defend my country... Regardless of the rhetoric about Isreal, Iran is more concerned about the US nukin' them...

What Bush has done is a combination of two old school foriegn policy failures... Vietnam (hot war) and the Cold War (threats)... Both of these policies are terribly flawed given the state of the planet today... And both of these failed policies share the same cornerstone and that is "militarism"... Militarism is outdated and not usefull... I won't solve problems... I won't protect people... It just makes the planet even more dangerous...

No, we need a drastic change in strategy if the goal is to protect people...
