  Mike,
    he has some interesting insights on Cheney bungling of N.Korea and Irag
and Venz.  Along what you are talking about...being at the end of his life
and not doing well,

Thanks for sharing your thoughts with a-g-l subscribers
My crystal ball says that Bush and crew want a regime change
 in Iraq and are merely THREATENING war to make it happen.
 The forces positioned around Iraq are so overwhelming in
 military terms that the SHOW of a full press on Baghdad
 should send Saddam and crew into exile perhaps in Russia
The oil in Iraq remains the property of the nation and
 will doubtless be transported, refined and sold by the
 7 sisters and purchased and consumed in cars by you and
 you and you as it has always been
My psychological take is that Rumsford and Cheney being
 at the end of their life spans are immensely enjoying
 their administration of these activist policies
Theoretically one ought to be able to divorce personal
 feelings about Bush and crew from sober reflection on
 whether a regime change in Baghdad would be a good thing
 (the number of casualties should and will be part of the
 calculus)
as far as the anti-War movement (Bewegung) conducted
 on the Internet and in the streets who are against
 suffering and death as who is not, they are not sober,
 they are ANGRY and FEARFUL
public opinion will not change a thing
