????????????????????????????? I think you meant Afghanistan. And after 9/11, the Saudis had to shuck that liability fast. It was a convenient place to redirect our ire from the fact that the hijackers were nearly all Saudis. And to prove I am not a doctrinaire liberal (unlike you doctrinaire republicans) I am PROUD of Afghanistan. In an emergency, Rumsfeld and Cheney got out of the way of the professionals and let them do their jobs there. And they did magnificently, using DIPLOMACY -- along with smart bombs -- to win, exactly as they did it in Bosnia/Kosovo. It was Clinton's military that won both of those wars. _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
