In my opinion, President Bush is waiting for after the election, when he is elected again, all scores will be settled. Things that must happen with the entire Middle East will be started and they will be forced to continue after the Bush term is completed.

President Bush is a visonary that will only be appreciated 100 years from now.

I did, and I agree with you 100%.

Does anyone else agree with using nukes on Syria? I know we could take over Syria without going to that extreme, but the death toll would be a lot higher on our side. Syria would more than likely use Chemical weapons and possibly Biological weapons. I also think their would be a lot more suicide bombers in Syria than what we are seeing in Iraq. I have a feeling Syria would be a tougher war than Iraq, even though their Military is far from anything special.

We would have to put a lot of troops in Iraq and Syria to keep order and be prepared for an all out attack from Iran. If Iran sees there is no way to stop us from coming after them they could try to surprise us with something. I think they would be very unpredictable in that situation. The Iranian leadership has been receiving a lot of pressure recently from us and the majority of the Iranian people.

We would be venerable to something happening with North Korea or China by having so many of our resources in the Middle East. If we have to go into Syria and Iran while still responsible for most of the security in Iraq we are going to have a lot of troops in that area if we want to keep it stable. If North Korea or China wanted to start something with South Korea or Taiwan, that would be the time.

I think there would be even more violence against our troops in Syria than there is in Iraq. I think there is a lot more support for America in Iraq than there is in Syria. We would probably have to deal with suicide bombing the entire time we occupied that country. How do you guys see a war and occupation of Syria turning out?

I think Iran would be the easiest nation to build a respected pro American government in. The majority of Persians are really pro American unlike many of the two-faced Arabs in Iraq.

What do you guys think should happen with Syria and Iran? What do you think WILL happen?

Waiting for the election... that implies that attacking Syria and Iran for Pete's sake, would be unpopular. I'd race to vote for Bush, if he attacked Syria and/or Iran. Right after victory in Baghdad, with the 4th ID in northern Iraq, Powell goes to Damascus and tells the scared-to-death Assad Jr that we wouldn't invade Syria. That was the dumbest sack of rocks thing to say. Strategy 101. Just as a warning, I'd like to see a B-2 fly over Damascus and Teheran, once for show. Then give the thugs an ultimatum and carry out the threat. Decapitate both regimes.

license, I have been saying this for months, thank you, I am not crazy no matter what my wifes says :-}.

The Goal that can't be stated because of P.C. is this whole anti-terror war is to force a reformation and denoucement of Radicalized Islam amongst the moderates and bring the Muslim Faith into the light. We need to talk more on this, It is getting late and I need sleep for a big date ahead.

I think it will be similar to the last scene of The Godfather.

Y'know, I think what the President's critics don't get about him at all is that his faith guides him into doing what he sees as right, and he doesn't care about the bile spewn at him from all sides -- or even if he ultimately loses in '04.

The guy is alot stronger than I had ever imagined him to be. (For my children's sake, I'm glad he's the guy).

Very true.

Although most here on FR appreciate him now and understand the Grand Strategy he is attempting.

"President Bush is a visonary that will only be appreciated 100 years from now."

Bingo!

It is impossible for any DemocRAT mentality - (cynical opportunists and unstable relativists, all) - to be a visionary.

The reasons are obvious.

Cynical opportunists are selfishly focused on amassing power, money, and other advantages for themselves in the short term. And despite what they lead others to believe - they aren't interested in the current and future good of anyone other than themselves, and what pertains to them, personally.

A relativist's beliefs and ethics are changeable with each *situation*. As a result, cognitive dissonance (the mental confusion that results from holding polar opposite beliefs and ideas simultaneously) is the hallmark of a relativist.

So - it is quite evident that neither a self-focused cynical opportunist, or an emotionally immature, confused relativist could ever be a "visionary".

Only those that hold to the worldview of America's Framers, could have the hope of attaining "visionary" status.
