Good post Keef, especially your question about where experienced people got us under Bush.

I'd rather a Prez that surrounds himself/herself with people who have read history and who are not afraid to answer hypotheticals.

Pose all the hypotheticals you want and ask the candidates to answer them, but not inside the heat of a debate.Hypotheticals about topical issues, YES, but not about issues like what would you do about some arcane act of a deranged muslim.

I know how Cheney and Bush would/did act when under pressure and I want any other hypothetical solution.
