Doug, all politicians are the same. They have advisors. GB seems bent on attacking Iraq and finishing the job his father didn't do. The reason he didn't do it is because he had no right to do it! If Iraq is such a threat (after 9 years of weapons inspections) why are we the only country to see it? BECAUSE BUSH NEEDS AN ENEMY, and Saddam is it! I do believe that Gore couldn't screw things up any worse than Bush has, but, that's damning with faint praise I guess.
