DO: Let’s say the U. S. does pull back from everywhere and just stay within it’s borders. Do you think for one second the Left in the U. S. would be satisfied with that?

I wasn't talking about that -- I was talking specifically about Iraq. I don't think the USA should pull back from "everywhere" -- we should use force where it serves our interest. So, the war against the Taliban was correct. But Gulf War one was not in the USA's interest. Neither was the bombing of the Serbs.

I’ll be quick to side with you on the issue of the Serbs.

That was an idiotic effort if ever there was one.

On the issue of Hussein, he was going to be a thorn in everyone’s side. He had to go IMO. You’re not alone in your thoughts on it. I recognize that.

After 09/11, we weren’t in the mood to have him shooting his mouth off about terrorism any longer.

It probably would have been best to get him out of there during the first Gulf War.
