>>>Some people have no capacity for self governance and must be led by authoritarian means or tyrants.

I'm afraid I don't buy that point. I can't think of anything that got better or more peaceful because we let Saddam Hussein stay in power 10 extra years. There's a limit to how many wars a ten division army can effectively fight and win over a prolonged time-frame, I'll grant Peggy that one, but I think that's a commentary on the rather poor decision we made regarding the size of our armed forces, rather than a knock on Pres. Bush's desire to liberate countries enslaved by a dictator.

I had finally settled into..long, busy day, tiredness..unfortunate column dashed off ,colored with a bit of speech envy..I was puzzled but willing to say "we all make mistakes"

Her "rebuttal" to criticism column has caused me to reexamine my opinion. Her garbage can statement gives me great pause...She did not take responsibility for the title or her drenched in God remarks either.
She has criticisized the president before in her columns..fine..

She is not "getting it" and I am getting a whiff of superiority complex.

Peggy, maybe there's a spot for you on Air America with Jeanne Garofalo and Randi Rhodes.

This White House didn't want you as a speechwriter, but maybe Hillary will give you a chance.
