Woodrow Wilson_who was a "neoCon" nutjob before the term "neocon" was ever phrased.<BR/><BR/>But just as you pointed out, the neCons are still dictating our foreign policies despite all the h*ll they've caused us and the Iraqi people, thus far! <BR/><BR/>Moreover, they want a do-over because the invasion of Iraq didn't quite turn out as they'd predicted. Iran or perhpas even RUSSIA (for that matter) will serve their purpose.<BR/><BR/>John McSenile wants to win a war_ANY war and his neocon pals have assured him that a premptive attack on Iran would restore America to her "glory".<BR/><BR/>Barack is still having a lot of difficuly "defining" himself to the American people. He's got no personal "war" stories to tell so he's feeling the need to do a bit of rhetorical saber-rattling to appear "macho." <BR/> <BR/>In the meantime, the world resents and distrusts us_and justifiably so! <BR/> <BR/>None of this bodes well for America's future.Truthizhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01955523196532537947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21083673.post-51369618522029863702008-08-21T05:18:00.000-07:002008-08-21T05:18:00.000-07:00The military is always the answer for the United States because at the moment the President is a blunder when it comes to foreign relations. <BR/><BR/>I have noticed that if there isn't already a cozy relationship setup between the US and another state that the president cannot seem to be effectively diplomatic. <BR/><BR/>So in short, the military is the answer because Bush does not know any other response.DChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09806912442993899621noreply@blogger.com
