He despised Bush and the neocons. He thought they were arrogant, fools, crazed...and that they were squandering America's treasure and reputation on trying to conquer a primitive people and culture which was being handled just fine with inspections and sanctions. And that the Administration was lying to American citizens about its reasons and intentions.
I didn't agree with him. I thought Muslims posed a much more serious threat and sanctions and inspections were failing...but I did not have to tell him about Saddam's nature or about the French, Russians and others. He knew all that stuff.
This man sounds like he thinks like Pat Buchanan.
