Posted here Tuesday, April 06, 2004 at 12:15:44 PM       Lets assume, and I think we agree, that the incursion to Iraq was, wrong, most of us had doubts before, and that there was little planning for the occupation, and it was dmaned stupid and based on a fixed idea, not on intelligent thought. If we back up to a larger view we need an answer to the question, "what was the real threat from Pakistan and the tendency for a nuclear armed Islamic world to emerge from the ME to Indonesia?" If that threat was real, and i believe it, could a multilateral approach to the 9/11 implications have been a sufficient response?   Does the answer to that question affect the way we all, Bush, Kerrey and the rest of us, need to be thinking now about the apparent impossible situation in Iraq?   ********
