Bush look like a moron. The truth is soooo much more complicated. He needs to lay out those complications, including all of America's warts and wrinkles in the affair. Otherwise, he does America a disservice when people begin to find out the depth of the real truth.Frank Stahelihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01822334061980912687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25646979.post-53512809641916886362007-09-26T07:15:00.000-06:002007-09-26T07:15:00.000-06:00I was thinking about this last night, especially o...I was thinking about this last night, especially of all the debate on Ahmidinajad's speech at Columbia.<BR/><BR/>I think calling them the 'axis of evil' was a good way of trying to rally the American people against Iran and other states with whom we have strained relations. <BR/><BR/>That's about where the good ends though. <BR/><BR/>While negotiating with some of these nut jobs is not likely to be productive, I do think we do more damage with an attitude of "You're with us, or against us".<BR/><BR/>We definitely have our own share of responsibility for the problems in the middle east, and I think the more we stick our noses in places they don't belong, the longer this is going to go on.Urban Kodahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01327437055164051853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25646979.post-60786167660629829082007-09-24T17:04:00.000-06:002007-09-24T17:04:00.000-06:00Sorry Frank, Not really disagreeing with this one....Sorry Frank, Not really disagreeing with this one. As we talked about a couple weeks ago. We are partially to blame for Iran being the way they are. Although, we could definitely fix those mistakes(and I think we should), calling them "the axis of evil" doesn't help. Mr. Ahmadinejad definitely is not a good guy. But how does calling him the "Axis of evil" help?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16532237715455614152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25646979.post-88941855533721662612007-09-24T08:51:00.000-06:002007-09-24T08:51:00.000-06:00Wow,I didn't expect that (language) out of Scott A...Wow,<BR/><BR/>I didn't expect that (language) out of Scott Adams, but I do admit it greatly enhances the satire. He touche's me a bit on the Iran-supplying-weapons-to-Iraq thing by comparing what we'd do if Iran invaded Canada.<BR/><BR/>I love Dilbert, but I didn't know Adams had a blog. I'll have to check it out more often. At least this post was very good!Frank Stahelihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01822334061980912687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25646979.post-73669983186961089502007-09-24T07:56:00.000-06:002007-09-24T07:56:00.000-06:00ypehtqfYou might enjoy Scott Adams' blog posting f...ypehtqf<BR/>You might enjoy Scott Adams' blog posting from Saturday on this matter.
