dragon--maybe--i should not have used that terminology then--retracted.

what i am going by is the range of newspapers that i read every day--most of which are not american--and a range of other sources--including curiously bbc world service, which was talking i think last night about polls that indicated somethjing like what i was saying. but you are right===poor smenatic decision on my part.

as for the "terrorists" not being nice people=-=maybe not, but remembr that the bushcase for linking hussein to alqeada has fallen apart entirely, and if the situation has changed now in iraq, it is mostly a function of american actions--the invasion, etc.

and as for the history of us foreign policy--knowing about this leads you in few alternative directions--sadly it is a legacy the amerians--myself included---have to live with. but it makes no sense to pretend that this history does not exist, and that it does not have effects on american presents and futures internationally.
