[QUOTE="susiedriver, post: 73328, member: 1848"] Tie, A few points. 1) John Mueller, the author of the article, is clearly not a political hack, nor is the publication [I]Foriegn Affairs. [/I]Nowhere in the article does Mueller lay a case for impeachment. You belittle your entire case by making these accusations. Likewise with Brian Whitaker of the [I]Guardian & al-bab.com & [/I]Martin van Creveld, who is Dutch-Israeli, and lives in Jerusalem. He has written the [I]The Art Of War (Smithsonian History of Warfare)[/I] and his credentials far outwiegh yours. 2) The war in Iraq has absolutely nothing to do with 'region building'. If anything the region has become de-stabilized. Less oil is being pumped today than four years ago, terrorist attacks have multiplied a hundred-fold. Iran has elected a theocratic right winger, and Syria has been emboldened enough to assassinate a foreign leader. 3) Nowhere did you address the failure of the Bush foreign policy, other than to say it's not so. You resort to name calling, which lessens any substance your thoughts may have had. Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't you likening the fall of the Soviet Union to what you imagine our tact is in Iran? I'm not sure what we are importing into Iran, since we have trade sanctions against them.
