US may win another Gulf War; but, will lose peace, again.

Our 1990 Islamic and Christian allies are rightly fearful that once a military victory is accomplished in 2002 (?); the US will pussyfoot around and try to mend the Iraqi government in a half assed fashion; or, inexplicably, leave Saddam in power, again.

Right now our tough talking Prez Bush reminds me of Prez Wimp Bush by his actions since becoming Prez---Other nations' leaders are watching and are thoroughly disgusted.

Again, the only way to quickly get a Christian-Islamic coalition together is to be open with our allies AND IRAQ and show them that we are serious about peace; rip Iraq apart ala spoils of war and divide it amongst the conquerors along traditional ethnic lines. No more Bush family RealPolitk!

Sincerely!
