Hey Savage
First you pop off with the most cliche, orthodox BS about Bush is a fool because he helped the Shiites get Iraq blah blah blah (stop reading the NYT)- basically the line that all LEFTISTS have found it convenienet (so they do not have to think) and then this. I am not a Bush fan – I do not like ANY of them – but that is just too easy and cycnical (yes I know you will say you are a “realist” – whatever). I think the reality is more complex and the combination of finding the WMD and creating a space so that the Arabs could try someting new – some type of Islam based representative government just went together. I would not hold my breath that it works but trying this is more in line with what Americans are about than supproting a dictatorship (the only types of govt Arabs have are these – either religiuos one or secular). Lets see
OK now pls tell us just why the Suez Canal being shut down will raise the price of gassoline.
