Janet, it doesn't take any sort of insider information to recognize your style, but it IS nice that you chose to finally attach a name to some messages. People probably had believed George H, myself, and a few others had just made you up!

I saw a very good documentary on Kennedy and the Cuban missle crisis. It seems just about everybody thought we should invade Cuba. Kennedy, I think, was willing to do whatever it took to get the best results despite public opinion OR the opinions of his advisors. Bush seems mainly concerned with public opinion and image, and doesn't seem to care about the long-term effects of his actions. "Long-term" meaning "after the war is over" in his case.
