I want to thank you Amos for the thread. Yes, the West can be construed to be monumentally stupid when it comes to foreign policy. Iraq being a case in point. But the thread has to be general of course. Little Hawk, I agree with your prescriptions for a better society. One basic problem is ideological entrenchment. This would be a bull-headed notion that one-size-fits-all when it comes to dimplistic solutions to problems. The West has always been low-context. There has been a penchant to easy answers. Frank
