"The Shire...First- I love the new look of the site. "The Shire" is perfect for your blog.<BR/>Second- the posting of the Superbloopers was ,well, super! Very funny! However, if it was really a ripoff from another site, then we may have a villan in our midst.<BR/>Third- as to todays blog- on top of the above concerns, the Bush Doctrine of a pre-emptive strike against an enemy was the first major concern among many conservatives (as I recall). In the foreign relations field I think that this doctrine's implementation is historic, and I belive will be more noteworthy in the future than any other policy. It is a reversal of our policy over the past 100 years- that our national symbol of an eagle with both symbols of peace and war in its talons, but the use of force was only used as a last resort. Now, force was used on an enemy before they attacked us. (Even then the tie between Iraq and 911 was very, very tenuous, and remember that at that time Osama was clearly involved in Afganistan and had no love for Sadaam.)<BR/>The question today, with Iran standing up to the world- what will we do in this situation? The similarity between Iraq then and Iran now is scary. Make no mistake- just as Sadaam would have LOVED to take over the region for sectarian reasons, Iran has a large and powerful group in its government that would LOVE to take over the ENTIRE WORLD for religous reasons. Also, they view the west and the USA in paricular as inherently evil. They are an enemy of ours and will need to be dealt with,the big question is how. The battle of ideas continues.<BR/>JimmyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
