Einstein (I believe) once said that the definition of insanity was doing the same thing over and over again, while expecting different results. That has been the US policy for fifty years towards the middle east - talks, talks, talks, talks, talks, talks, talks, talks. Is there anyone who can keep track of the gazillion or so peace plans, initiatives, accords, etc? President Bush changed the paradigm. Talking obviously hadn't worked, so he tried something else. Lo and behold, his approach is working. Iraq and Afghanistan are becoming more free by the day. Libya voluntarily gives up its WMD program. The Islamist government in Iran is teetering on the brink of collapse.
Everything President Bush does goes back to his famous speech on September 13th. When he swore not to ever allow another 9/11, he was looking at the long term. Stopping terrorists at the airport is the LAST line of defense. President Bush intends to stop Islamist terrorism at its very roots, to deny it the ability to exist.
Good news..Bump!
