Bush will be known as either a brilliant hero or a moronic villain and I'm
not sure which. The war with Afghanistan was a huge success but I don't know
if Iraq will be as smooth. I hope so.

Bush, seems to have the greatest gift a man in a competition can have -- the
ability to get his opponents to seriously underestimate him. If you notice
he has a long list of opponents behind him who are now sitting in the dust
and talking about how dumb he is. Hopefully Sadaam will be one more.
       Let me remark on the Saudis. You didn't raise the point but others
have. Some are calling for war with the Saudis. In the first place let us
stick to one war at a time for crying out loud. <G> In the second I suspect
our differences with the Saudis will get settled diplomatically not
militarily.
