nacmacfeegle 0 #4 July 30, 2004 Just out of interest, will there be any difference in foreign policy if there is a regime change in the US? I'm beginning to suspect not.-------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.

Zennie 0 #6 July 30, 2004 QuoteJust out of interest, will there be any difference in foreign policy if there is a regime change in the US? As far as Iraq goes, probably not. We're already there and about all you can do at this point is make the best of a bad situation. The main difference, I think, is that Kerry wouldn't have the self-righteous "screw the world" attitude that Dubya & Co have. He might actually try an build a coalition first rather than just go storming in wherever hepleases. - Z "Always be yourself... unless you suck." - Joss Whedon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Please explain how budget increase=budget slash.... But, to get back to the original question... I'd say it's more like Senator Kerry sending the SAME constituent a letter that said that he supported the 1991 Gulf war, then a week or so later send ANOTHER letter saying he didn't support it.
