Some ignorant (and coarse) male commenter... (must be from an unseen email Belle received) demeaned her VERY LUCID assessment of an unthought out 'regime change' that would result in the hot mess that blew up after our gung-ho invasion in Iraq.

(That response to Belle REEKS of male knee-jerk criticism of a female daring to make a cogent assessment of a world crisis.)

She handled it intelligently. BRAVO, Belle!
