<DIV><SPAN class=776065021-24112003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff>I think Bush
is the best among the available candidates. I suspect that his going into
Iraq may have been influenced by a vendetta for his father. Nevertheless,
we have to deal with the reality that we ARE there.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=776065021-24112003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff>The people we
are fighting against understand only one language: superior force. Any
withdrawals, good-guy gestures, unilateral reductions, etc. are seen as weakness
and are an incentive to attack further. If we were to withdraw tomorrow,
the threat of suicide bombings and other guerilla attacks -- and the threat of
terrorism on our home turf -- would increase
geometrically.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

do not think GCFL is the appropriate forum for such heavy
discussions. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>
