Poll question: Diplomacy: Good or Bad

I see Bush has no understanding of the word. Neither do the simpleton, brain damaged Right Wingers. But here I would like to believe all are on the side of practicality and morality. So my question is this.

Let's pretend Bush used diplomacy instead of war. What would today look like if Bush use diplomacy instead of Pre-Emptively attacking a sovereign nation?

***This question does not include the use of force for going after Bin(Forgotten)Laden.

1. I voted 'Same'

for the simple reason that even if the Iraqi occupation didn't happen, we would still have Cunningham, Abromaff, Scanlon, Delay, Frist, Halliburton, Enron and if it wasn't for Murtha's proposal, Jean Schmidt would have eventually done something really stupid....

2. Leaving aside the fact that Junior fucks up wet dreams ...

... there's no question that a diplomatic and (international) law enforcement approach would have left more than 100,000 innocent people alive and bin Laden (more likely) in custody. The 'good will' of FREE NATIONS toward the US would be intact ... even though the 'friendship' of totalitarian regimes that've been given access to a slice of the corporate wealth pie would be less. Make no mistake -- there are fatter Swiss bank accounts today than 5 years ago - Pervez and company.
