I am still seriously doubting that Bush is going to do much beyond firing a few bullets and lobing a few cruise missiles. The administration seems fearful of overthrowing the Taliban, let alone Hussein.

There is always hope, though. What Johnson forgets is that America has a much different mentality than Britain. Both countries have always wanted peace. The difference is that we Americans don't care how many people we have to kill to get it.

Yes, the world too often underestimates the ferocity of an aroused America.

So, President Bush, with a 90% public approval rating, is timid and fearful of the big, bad Arabs and in your opinion won't do much of anything but - in your last sentence you casually state that Americans don't care how many people we kill 'for peace', indicating that we're a bloodthirsty nation, anxious to kill. Well, which is it? The positive backing for a President that won't do a thing (according to you) from a people who can't wait for blood to be spilt? Makes no sense.

Re: How many people Americans must kill to achieve peace..... Well, aren't we entitled to at least, uh, somewhere in the neighborhood of 7,000??????

You're one seriously confused individual.

Relax already! President Bush and his people are doing their jobs and are going about their business in a very determined and methodical manner. Theses folks are pro's. The planning for the military operation(s) is in full gear mode and organizing support on a world wide basis is being accomplished. Who would you rather have running things then Colin Powell, Don Rumsfeld, Condy Rice and of course VP Dick Cheney. The adults are in charge now. I'm confident they will make the right decisions.

ps- If algore was prez, we'd have people like Cohen, Albright, Berger and Lieberman running things. Thank God Bush is POTUS.
