Good point, Eric. I agree completely.

Hell, when was the last time anyone associated the Middle East with "stability?" Sheesh. That place has always been turned on end. How does removing a key leader in the instability of the Middle East decrease its stability? Some people are just plain stupid.

I get thouroughly pissed with foreign relations at times. Many people thought Clinton was a great master of foreign relations. However, all I can see that he ever did was sell nuclear secrets to China. He made a big fuss about Israel and Palestine, but nothing ever came of all his efforts. All he did was cave to international pressure. That's a great way to get your country looked at as someone's bit**. Is that what we want America to become? A door-mat for other countries? Not me.

Bush has done a fine job, IMHO. He came into office, admitidly not being an expert at foreign relations, but he has stood for his and America's principles and interests. Guess what world...you don't always get what you want. It's time for the United States to stop cowing to others and get something done. Heth, you're exactly right. That is how Hitler came to power. The world simply chose to look the other way (much as Clinton did after the embarrassing failure of Operation Desert Fox). If we keep looking the other way, we're not going to see the .50 Desert Eagle rapidly approaching the side of our head with a madman on the trigger.
