roachboy - The first part of my post was a negative reaction to your seeming to place yourself above "the americans." I understand your explanation, but I'm still grumbling a bit.
The latter question was not an insidious primer to be followed by "See, you couldn't do any better..." While I disagree with you on virtually every possible political position, I do respect your opinions and am genuinely curious as to your stance. Frankly, I appreciate the fact that you can say "I don't know". Too often, our politicians see "a problem" and quickly proceed to fixing it - regardless of whether the solution is better than the problem.
Like you, I don't have many answers either. Since we do not have the benefit of the intelligence gathering arm of our government, we will always be destined to making truly uninformed choices when it comes to protecting national interests. I believe this to be the case with Obama. It seems that as soon as he saw his first few intelligence briefings that he changed virtually all of his campaign stances on the GWOT. I often wonder why that is.
