I'm not sure this belongs in TravelBuzz - more like Omni, first of all.

Secondly, I've tried to stay out of most anti & pro-war threads, as it seems like my $0.02 ain't gonna change things much, and I don't have the necessary visibility to determine how much of a threat Iraq really is.

With that said, I think it's pretty closed minded to call our President a dummy. I may not always agree with all the decisions he makes, but he is our leader and unless he gets impeached, I'm going to give him the respect I think he deserves.

I hope we don't have a war, as it's pretty terrible to see people die. However, we have to be careful not to let down our guard and become "wimpy", as the Clinton administration CLEARLY demonstrated. Clinton's legacy of non-confrontation got us 9/11, so let's not forget that either.
