Well since unlike the USSR we are not trying to invade and make Iraq part of the USA, I am pretty sure we won't be facing the same kinds of things the USSR did. I think the State Department is making a mess of things currently but eventually they will get a stable and acceptable governing body in place over there.

As for "Six gun diplomacy" it sure as hell beats laying down and saying "please screw me and my wife and kids too". I think the US has historicly done better with forceful "macho" type guys in the front office.. like Reagan, Kennedy, Roosevelt's. The wussified Carters, Clintons and others have always ended up with very bad results for this country.

Yeah, I prefer a "MAN" in the office rather than a sensitive touchy feely type any day.

Im not trying to offend anyone who identifies them selves as touchy feely type men. It is just a preference I have.
I don't know about you MagiK, but I was doing alot better when Clinton was in office than right now.

There is more to being President than being a Macho Punk. I doubt the rhetoric that Bush spews has anything to do with him being macho.

America needs a leader with brains, diplomatic skills and the ability to make the tough decisions that are not the most popular ones instead of decisions that will get him re-elected.
