"Seven countries in five years"
Wesley Clark's new memoir casts more light on the Bush administration's secret strategies for regime change in Iran and elsewhere.

    You are right in saying Wes Clark should have all this stuff up when he was running for President.

    But really do we need any more military types running for President, or for that matter any public office during this time?

    I mean part of the problem in your argument is that military person is best suited for being President becuase they can defeat the Republicans and can take care of our national security. And therein lies the problem with your argument. the last thing we need is any more military representation or militaristic we are tough fantasies which led us to war in the first place. If we elect a military guy like Wes Clark, sure we may not go to war if he is Pres, but we will re-affirm the notion to the rest of the world that we are basically scared shitless of "the others" and need a general to protect us, and that we havent shed our sense to protect ourselves via war instead of dialogue
