Here is the op-ed written by James Baker and Warren Christopher, who served as Secretaries of State in the administrations of George H.W. Bush and Jimmy Carter, respectively.

They make a good case, and though there's still room for reactionary moves in their proposal (in case of "emergencies"), there's no doubt that more careful bipartisan consideration should be given before we enter into armed conflicts around the globe.

  Sorry. That should have said Warren Christopher was Sec. of State under Clinton. He was Carter's Deputy Secretary of State.

    I consider this an excellent topic of discussion for the nation.
    I would liek to add a particular, pointed question:
    Should the Presdient of The United States be permitted to plunge our nation into arbitrary war?
    Should we allow Propaganda and Lies to be used in urging America to go to war?
    Should there be a 'time process' put in place in cases of 'Arbitrary War' so that our nation is not committed to excruciatingly long - drawn out commitments that drain our nation of life and treasury?
    Should there be a Penalty - or at least a 'Truth And Reconciliation for Accountability' for leaders in Goverment who promote War as a form of International Diplomacy?
    Questions liek this are essential.
    Course, I happen to know all the answers to the above questions.
    Speaking for All Christian Conservatives ... as ADAMANT supporters of ALL things Neo-Con ... we PRAYERFULLY support ALL Republicans and NEO-CONS in war makin.
    And are AGAINST Liburals doin the same.

        Bravo, Goppy!
        Like everything else, the Devil is in the details - and the small print - although it smells a little bit, coming from Baker! Remember, he was the guy standing in front of 100 or so flags, whining endlessly that Dumbya
        won Florida in 200 election.
        I am wondering what he is NOT telling!
