different, we would not be faced with the problem we have. we ve inherited the british empire east of the suez. i don t think we ve had a coherent global strategy, this is a major worldwide problem. it s environmental problems, it is fuel problems and it s economic problems, plus the warfare problem. and the president said the right words. the one good thing to remember about litigation and warfare is, you may be late but if you re wrong, you re wrong forever. the president s deferral as to taking the cart off is different. on the point of stopping short. just because the commander in chief stopped short, it doesn t mean there won t still be a response. how do you interpret that? i interpret that as the tables open, the next move is iran s, hopefully there is quiet discussions directly or
