PPS. And my personal view of the Middle East is that they should be left to do whatever the heck they wanna do so long as the oil gets delivered on time. If they wanna kill one another off, then fine. If they wanna live beneath the heel of a boot, then fine. We aren't their mommies. Just keep the pipelines in good working order and set the tankers to sail and otherwise do whatthe$#&%ever. The sad thing is that we are fighting the remnants of the Cold War more than anything else. Now one thing just follows another sort of on auto-pilot, but the only real reason we became entangled so deeply in the Middle East in the first place was the Cold War rivalry and nothing else whatsoever.
We only differfew things, I think we should support Israel for instance. I also think Bush is right on stem-cells but that if it is attached to a pork bill, he might sign it.
