After all: - we have WMDs - we're the only country to use nuclear bombs against an enemy - we've been saber rattling about N. Korea, talking diplomacy, and if it fails, our military is going in (to paraphrase Rumsfeld) - we attacked Iraq in a pre-emptive strike to prevent his using WMDs, so why can't they make the same argument on us? - getting rid of the current administration would be good for the country and the world (same reasoning to remove Saddam) - we've proved our unwillingness to respect other country's governments; see our takeovers in Grenada, Nicaragua, Chile, Iran, etc. etc. etc. lincoln "Windows XP has so many holes in its security that any reasonable user will conclude it was designed by the same German officer who created the prison compound in "Hogan's Heroes." - Andy Ihnatko, Chicago Sun-Times [link\|mailto:bconnors@ev1.net\|contact me]
