Colin, the Lend lease act is part of laying the ground work that Rooservelt did.
Bottom line is we are going in. We cannot build up all the forces, rattle the saber and not use it. ( of course if Iraq would live up the UN agreements we could back down.)
There is NO other solution. backing down, recalling our troops would be a disaster for the US and eventually the world.
Dictators LIE, thus diplomoacy which is built on making deals and people living up them them HAS not, NOR will it work. Look at N. Korea and Iraq... the only difference is that the N. Koreans had the balls to say they lied, and have built nuclear weapons and will make more. Iraq continues to lie and hide and postpone... but yet still continues to hide their weapons programs.
It is something that is so clear to me....
As far as Powell's speech, it was meant to be technical - Bush has been the one giving the passionate speaches, long on rhetoric short on details.
