Like I've said over and over. You guys wouldn't know a new idea if it knocked on your door wearing nuthin but pasties. You're too steeped in the past to look toward anything but it. Doesn't it get a pain trying to stear mankind into the future with your focua so locked onto the rear view mirror?

Yeah, its been a long, long time since Americans were welcome in Iraq, Iran or Cuba. But there was a time when we were welcome and then weren't and then were... We swapped alliances faster than a bus station whore swapped glances at potential Johns. Iran, Iraq, no, Iran, no, Iraq... I am suggesting that we have become so distrustfull by out actions which have been to either divide and conquear or to protect the flow of oil into the US, that it is the the US the needs a facelifting. The old crap ain't workin'.

Oh sure, we can go blow up some folks and manipulate the survivors into standing before cameras like monkeys telling the world just how great we are (ahhh, for not killing that particular monkey...)but you can bet that in doing so you are gonna get another generation of Osamas, but you drum beaters don't qutie get that...

No, the US has never done what I have suggested. Never! Nor will it! Why? Because it doesn't play too well with the John Wayne, redneck, testostrone driven way that the US like to *rule* its subjects rather than *lead*. Problem is that rulers are resented.

And thieves and thugs are resented and the ruling regime in D.C. is comprised of both. You don't want to hear about you guy stealing the anything? Tough! Then he ought to quit and give back what was strolen. Heck, thats the way it is in a land of laws. The thievs ain't sposed to be able to keep the booty. Do I want Al Gore to be president? Well, not particularly btu *he did win*, like it or not.

But back to Junior's *war*. Ahh, Teribus, the "Moscow Model" that you plan on unleashing in Bagdad is looking even worse. Seems that the good guys killed off about 20% of the civilians. Now you're up to about 800,000 dead Iraqi civilian deaths to explain...
