I am fully in support of the Bush Doctrine and of this war. I have been consistently posting that we must deal with Iran and North Korea after Irak because they are near or in the nuclear club and both have shown they will have truck with terrorists.

But I would like to see or hear some reason, some logic and not just bluster why the Bush Doctrine has not reached its high water mark.

Show me some part of the world which will not be arrayed against us. Tell me that America will be willing to make war against a crazed nuclear North Korea without allies. Explain how we can win Europe over to face down the ayatollahs with us.

Explain how the American media will become shamed into silence and how the domocrat party will go into eclipse just because we have won an overwhelming victory in Irak. We won one 12 years ago and the Dems paid no price and the press learned no shame. Explain how Bush can muster the domestic support to carry his policy into the teeth of the world's opposition.

Believe it or not, I want to be convinced that I am wrong and I hope I am wrong but bluff and bluster just doesn't cut it.

Who says we need to?
