    @Faulk

    I think you bring up a pretty good point. Most Americans, aside from the millions of others who have immediate or extended family in the Mid-East, really probably don't give a real royal rat's ass who gets slotted to the seat of Sec. of State.

    However, I'd urge that kind of thinking to go through some seriously well considered and thorough going thought revision.

    It matters a lot who serves as Sec. of State. Anybody remember Robert Mac the Knife MacNamara?

    Does Viet Nam ring a bell...

    Are the good intentions of "good Americans"

    Just a prelude to hell?
