Absolutely not. I want consistency at the top. We do not have it and have not since Reagan. We allow these slaughters to occur worldwide. We did not admonish the French as their soldiers watched 500,000 Rwandans get slaughtered. We do business with the Chinese and hell, teach them how to MIRV warheads over our west coast. We have a foreign policy with the consistency of jello. Personally speaking I've met Kurds. Most are just backwards people trying to survive. I would love to protect them. But within a structured democratic and unified Iraq. No seperate nations, no Balkanization of the Middle East. Yawn is right. I know that our State Department will find some way to screw this up. We'll send Albright or Jimmy Carter to "teach" democracy so we'll have a warm fuzzy pc campaign of looking good to the commies in the UN. Just once I wish someone with some balls would stand up and say this is how it will be done.

As far as North Korea, I have an answer for that. Blockade the nation and advise them there is a Trident II 300 miles away, loaded and ready to rock and roll. If ONE missle leaves North Korean airspace, every citizen of that nation becomes a crispy critter.

No, I believe we should do more. But we had best have a doctrine of consistency and not let the morons in the UN have ANY input from this date forward. We need to shut out the ChiComs, Ruskies, Frogs and Germans. If the Turks want input it will be to seal their border and shut up since they don't want to work with us on a political level. But if we finish this and then invite the UN to help, I will wash my hands of this administration also. More people die because we turn our backs worldwide on the true abuses of power and fail to defend our allies to the end. We sold out so many friends and let the slaughters commence and how much did you see about this on the news in the last twenty five years? Not one hell of a lot. And so this is the test for W in my book. He can make this a Pax Americana again, or he can be a waffle and "invite" the UN in to screw it up. It's his call and I'll withold judgement until then.

One more thing about your "comment" about the "communist" regimes. One of the heads of the former organizations that enabled thousands, hell probably tens of thousands to dissappear in gulags went to a BBQ at W's ranch in Texas:

Putin.

Put that in your pipe and smoke it. His last name is not "Stalin" but he sure as hell has a history quite similar when he was head of the KGB.
