Chappy, your posts are getting more amusing by the day. Thanks for the good laughs, seriously.

I think Syria is definately next, not only are Iraq's WMD stashed there, so are many high ranking Baath Party members, and of course, terrorists! Then Libya because it's located in between Syria and Iran, and there is certain to be terrorists in that country. Then Iran because Iranians are actually in favor of a democratic/capitalistic system. Then Cuba because our political system is way better than theirs?......where do we stop?

We want no part of N. Korea, I can tell you that. Not only do they expect the US to attack, they are welcoming the opportunity. There is no bigger hater of America than N. Korea. Diplomacy (remember that word?) is the solution with fanatical country.

Here is my question:

The last time a president named Bush went to the Middle East to do some Saddamizing (for a much more noble cause in most Americans view; Saddam was beating up a smaller country that time) he was soundly defeated the next election by an unknown, slick-talking gov. from Arkansas. What happens if/when the Democrats regain control of the White House, the "hawks" are sent flying, and US foreign policy does another about-face, again.

Doesn't foreign policy, much like fish management, require some consistency to be effective?

Basically we are in unchartered territory here folks, it will be more than interesting to see the long term results of this period of "liberation".
