New Maybe.
But I think a lot hinges on the next election. If Bush is not elected, then it might be possible to begin rebuilding the bridges with the international community he has torched in the last three years. If that happens, we might see more countries willing to send troops to the region - and it is very clear that we need almost twice as many as we have there. If Bush is elected, I can't see any other way to get the required forces in place without a US draft.

If you can read this, you are not the President.

New Very insightful ...


Bush is seen as S-h-i-t (spelled with a capital S) outside the US, by most people except his anticedent predecesor family that remained in Europe.

We outworlders do know that some in the US see him otherwise & there is no point discussing that matter in an American internet forum :-)

Cheers

Doug
(You heard it here 1st - Bush will go down in history as one of the worst
mistakes some in the US *ever* made)
