Subject: RE: BS: US foreign policy - an example to us all
Is it significant that the only U.S. president to have a degree in history was Woodrow Wilson? Fact, The greatest general that ever lived was Alexander the great. He was defeated in Afghanistan,Fact,

Great Britain, one of the most powerful forces ever, defeated in Afghanistan. The Soviet Union a super power, driven out with their tails between their legs. Does Bush know this? If so, what can he hope to gain by re arranging the rubble in Afghanistan? Is this why he needs to focus attention eleswhere? Is it about "nation building"? what good will it do to take Saddam out? it would just mean another despot unless we impose a democracy on them, and that would take years, and billions of dollars.
