Woodwards latest book is interesting, in the excerpts I've seen he makes a compelling case for lack of leadership. I like Bob Barr's (LP candidate, former CIA) opinion on what he would have done...sent in a black ops team to take our Saddam and his sons. End of problem.


>It is worth mentioning that public approval or disapproval does not necessarily indicate wisdom, one way or the other. Referendum is interesting, but not entirely the best way to form policy. i am not saying that approval or disapproval of the public - either foreign or domestic - is unimportant, only that it can't be the only factor in deciding extremely complex questions - especially when they are life and death issues.
