Thank you Superbelt. I'll read up.
About Rummy and Cheney:
How much of our policies do they actually dictate within their positions in the administrations they've served? Is this possible to know?
I know that the president is ultimately responsible for their actions, but I'm curious about how much they may or may not do on their own.
This type of stuff honestly pisses me off. I'm glad I am not in charge of international relations and have to decide who gets what and why from our country. It seems like a losing situation in many ways. Isolationism doesn't seem to work because as our countries move towards globalization, the problems of other countries eventually become our problems too, i.e. AIDS.
The propping up of dictators is a good way to get derailed later on. Like I said about Hussein ealier, I know its our mess, its unfortunate that it is our mess, but I'm glad that we are cleaning it up.
