Tedob1 yeah bad for nearly everyone else. The talibans got into power under the Reagan and Bush sr administrations and they signed their death warrent when they supported Ben ladin. It wouldnt have mattered who was in power at the time.
What weapons did Lybia really give up? I think they gave up their "programmes" but never any real weapons. I could be wrong!
Another small unimportant point is the dollar is really low against all other currencies even though growth in the States is 3 or 4 times more than in Europe. "Bush" required of Japan and China that they continue to float the dollar to keep it artificially weak. Funnily enought this is actually worst for americans abroad. Bush will be good to Iraq regardless of his reasons, but it may not come about before the end of his next term.
Jinxy that was probably the most relavent statement so far

cheers all
