Our military operation is not working. We need to add another approach to the military operation, conversation. And not just with the countries in the Middle East that we are already talking too. What we need is vision.
Somehow I can't equate this situation with Hitler. This is a War on Terrorism which is elusive. Many people, sects, parts of countries, extreme religious organizations, and cells are involved. Not one single leader. It seems to me to combat this War, America should talk to all countries whether they are involved or not. If they are involved, we handle them with kid gloves. Has anyone heard, "keep your enemies close."
People I respect sugest that America start the dicussions with Syria. Iran has a highly inflated regard for itself. They believe they control Hamas and Hezbollah. we also tighten our commitments with our "existiing" allies, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Egypt, etc.
As the Iraq Report makes clear, Israel will be protected by the United States. So that situation needs to be resolved.
The report also makes it clear that Turkey is clearly frighten. We have to address that situation.
What our country needs is vision. It needs the backbone to try something new and to take a chance. All our strongest leaders excelled when they took changes. President Bush has two years to save his Presidency. Unless he embraces vision, he will not do well. |
