I believe it is the latter, which may be good or bad I > suppose, I just wish he wouldn't lie about it. Perhaps I am a bit gullible but I tend to believe that our leaders are not lying. I even believed Clinton, who I felt was a pathological liar, when he said that bombing Iraq was in the interest of national security. I have always believed the cliché that politics end at the waters end. When it comes down to it I easily trust GWB over Husein. As for you question about GWB, I do believe that he would like to help setup a representative government similar to what happened in Afghanistan. History, however, reminds me that the United States has been fairly unsuccessful at exporting democracy. I hope and pray for it, but history also reminds me that oppressed people when freed, tend to become oppressors themselves. Finally, I like to find the humor in world events, the Florida election fiasco was hilarious to me, especially the video of that bald guy straining his eyes looking at the chads. My new favorite scene is the Iraqi minister of dis-information claiming that they had beaten the Coalition back and that no American’s were in the city, all the while gunfire could be heard in the background. I am truly sad to see him go, but am very happy that it looks like this conflict is nearly over, with fewer American casualties than in 1991. Scott

(...) And Dubya can have his brother appointed governor of Iraq, and have the Florida election commision make sure that those he doesn't want having ballots don't get them or....
