Ironically, there is a concept called honesty. I am open, direct and honest with what I think. Like I said there is an opportunity for the situation with Iran to not get out of control. I don't respond to situations without thought, I don't get out of control, and I tell people directly what my concerns are. No one is under any obligation to listen to me or take me serious, all I know is that there seems to be a very familiar pattern. I felt Bush 1 failed to fully address the Iraq issue, Clinton did nothing and I supported and worked to get a man elected who I thought would address the Iraq issue. He did. He did what he said he would do, he was direct and honest about it. Now some of you have taken the mantra that "Bush lied" - my response is you folks had your heads up your asses. Who on this earth honestly did not think Bush was going to take out Saddam if he had a chance? I bring this up because I see the same pattern evolving. And, I guess I am trying to say - don't come back 4/8/12 years from now saying someone "lied to you".

Differentiate yourself all you want, but that's exactly the kind of cowboy attitude, for lack of a better phrase, that got us where we are today.

You have your guy in office, he has a Nobel Peace Prize, now is his time, now is his moment. I hope it all falls into place, I hope it works.
