This is not a surprise as Carol has stated. Bush has a "Wag The Dog" mentality and
some of you might remember Larry Beinart's book or have seen the movie with Dustin
Hoffman. I would think that if the US was in it's right mind, this strategy would backfire because it would decrease national security rather than increase it.

Obama is talking diplomacy and as long as that path is followed, we may have more
security and less risk than foreign incursions and making enemies.

Nuking a foreign country is a lot like shooting wolves from helicopters.

It's absolutely stupid.
