Well, considering the WOT is the most important item in the news day in and day out, don't you think that you are being just a little hard on Bush, then? I mean, he had to go from working on an agenda that he talked about and planned on for 18 months during the campaign and election of 2000, then---
In the space of what 20 or so minutes, his whole focus of his agenda had to shift 108 degrees---
You mentioned that you appreciated the better "values" so to speak of his White House vs. the Clintons---but if you think about it, it wasn't just the sex thing, but Clinton wasn't paying attention to the world around us and LET 9/11 get to the operational point it did on 9/11/01!!
And, after today in Lebanon and the weekend with Mubarek talking about election in Egypt, you CANNOT say that Bush's Doctrine hasn't made a postive change begin in the Middle East!
