Forum debates rarely change anyones views... but this forum has been great at providing an international view of events that the majority of Americans rarely saw on CNN and FOX.

The war itself has depressed me and left me with a more pessimistic view of human prospects than I had before. Bush and Co's actions since the war concluded are not giving me cause to feel any better about prospects either. IMO they made their point and it's time to start including the international community in Iraq. What is the problem with letting Blix back in? Why not start to AT LEAST confer with non-coalition allies (France, Germany, Russia) about plans. Why aren't they dealing with fundamentalists that are starting to cause problems (they MUST have known this would happen and developed contingencies). Why is the Military in control of this instead of the State Department? This spat between Rummie and Powell needs to be addressed, and Powell needs to be put in a position where he can do his job. You did a GREAT job Rummie, now let Powell do his!
