>I agree. Interestingly, so does that fire-brand Buchannan, who wrote an article today chastising the Republican hawks for going against Bush and Powell.

>Bush and Powell want to build that coallition you mention, the hawks want to start bombing Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Gaza, most Eastern Arab countries, or anyone in a turban. The hawks are best ignored.

Thanks for that perspective. This is the most hopeful thing I have heard since 9-11.

BTW, the military has pilotless vehicles that can fly all over Iraq. I think some have even made it to Afghanistan. Are you sure that there are no civilian model planes with the range to fly all around a city? I mean it's a lot easier to launch an RC plane from a van than to steal a crop duster. A lot less obvious too.
