Any Bets On When They Launch?

---Acts of terror have been occurring for the entire period of recorded history. So far there hasn't been anything to link Iraq or Saddam Hussein to acts of terror anywhere.

Alexander, it's been building to this throughout the last 30 years, if not more. Doing nothing at this point just leaves us open for more random acts of terror, while it can be demonstrated that these people seem to respect nothing except strength and resolve.

---give me a break! Look at the history of the United States and their interventionist policies to see what the American governement respects.


It's a bitter pill to swallow, much, I'm sure, like the one that Britons had to deal with once the warm glow of Munich wore off in early 1939.

----Exactly, and then it was Hitler the aggressor, now it is Dubya. Even if Saddam leaves the country the US will still occupy it. The ultimatum was to surrender the country or have it seized by force. Iraq does not pose a military theat to anyone right now and there is absolutely no justification for this war.


The world now is a far different place, demanding far different answers to more complex yet eerily similar questions....

No it's not. The world is always the same, the only thing that changes is our material stuff.
