From: "Rich Gauszka" 

No - we shouldn't have gone with the status quo. Neither should we have
destabilized an entire region on some neo fanatical quest.

Look Afghanistan, with all our resources going into it, was going to be an
extremely difficult task.  Now we have a civil war in Iraq. Bush's wink
wink to the Israelis actions have given Hezbollah greater status in the
region. Not only the oil is being sucked out of the region but any hope for
peace and you can thank Bush foreign policy for that.
