Gerry, you seem to be calling for thoughtful appraisal of gobal forces,
and I appreciate it. Reason and analysis are needed. Steve's comment
about the dead insurgent indicates a completely unrealistic view of
warfare. The day before, an insurgent playing dead blew up a corpsman,
and the marines have every reason to be suspicious. Such events happen
all the time in war. Read <i>Band of Brothers</i> about the killing of
German POWs. <br>
Scan <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.opinionjournal.com">www.opinionjournal.com</a> for the "Good news from Iraq /
Afghanistan" occasional pieces, and you see the other side.<br>

Killing that insurgent is an isolated incident and does NOT constitute

initiating killing fields. One robin does not a springtime make yet
some

sunworshippers grab any port in a storm.

I would have thought Bush's task after being elected
<br>
U.S. President
<br>
was to mold his allies into a common cause. That seems
<br>
to be what
<br>
we are now observing as Bush romances Chirac. Which of
<br>
the
<br>
European leaders still scorn Bush's lead? And what
<br>
about Putin.....
<br>
I do think he's still part of the gameplan.
<br>
A new world-wide poll needs to be taken before the
<br>
Christmas
<br>
Holidays. I think the Blue and Red States might offer
<br>
a different
<br>
profile.

<blockquote type="cite">About 2-3 weeks before the election, the
Financial
<br>
Times
<br>
(not a left-wing rag!) reported world-wide polls in
<br>
which 3 nations supported Bush, 2 were neutral,
<br>
and all others pro-Kerry. The 3 were Poland,
<br>
Phillipines and Nigeria. The 2 were Thai land
<br>
(one of the ties was Thai! sorry...) and India. Views
<br>
of Islam clearly were in the background.
<br>
My Division at NSF was mainly Indian and Nigerian,

and we had some jokes...
<br>
and some very embarrassed Indians. One of whom told
<br>
me there was a new poll just
<br>
before the election, and then it was only Poland. I
<br>
didn't ping him for sources.
