What, pray tell, gives you the notion that our leaders have the fortitude to take drastic action in the Middle East? They don't. Reagan was the last president who would've had the strength to do something like that.

I'm as big a fan as Reagan as anybody here. But it must be pointed out that Reagan had the opportunity to do something when 241 U.S. Marines were slaughtered by a suicide bombing attack on their barracks. And not a damn thing was ever done about it. At least Bush has taken some concrete action against this terrorist scum - at the risk of his political career, I might add.

And thank G-d. I have always said that I would have so much respect for a politician who does what's right with NO HEED to his bleeping reelection.

Zell Miller gets it about Bush -- did you hear him call Bush Churchillesque last night?
