I hope I'm wrong, but I am afraid that Iraq is going to turn out to be the greatest disaster in American foreign policy - worse than Vietnam, not in the number who died, but in terms of its unintended consequences and its reverberation throughout the region.
The test is can you do something, rather than have a theoretical argument - can you make a difference?
For me, I don't like it when there is too much interference in our lives. We're not children. It is our own life in our hands.
