*ACK*

Post #97,152 by xtensive 4/17/03 8:10:40 PM Reply	ACK God, oh Gawd... oh gawd forbid we get to the point of nukes. On the one hand, even w/ this admin, I can't imagine them being that stupid. Then again, they may have such an overly-inflated sense of power and control, "emboldened" by their ability to push the War on Iraq, that they assume the rest of the world quakes in its boots when ever we show our guns. I guess it goes back to the cold war thoughts, can we count on a counter-attack? More importantly, if we pre-emptively nuke a non-nuclear nation, can we expect a nuclear nation (say Russia in this instance) to step up and put us in our place. Ughghg... just a lot of bad, conspiratorial thoughts there. Makes for an interesting end game. mx.

I'm probably responsible for this addition, 'though I don't know the individual in question - posted a link to another mailing list. Seen his avatar over there before, though. After 9/11, Bush made two statements: 1. "Terrorists hate America because America is a land of freedom and opportunity." 2. "We intend to attack the root causes of terrorism." Sounds like everything is going according to plan.

Thanks for the welcome; I tend to do a lot of lurking to prevent the overly irrational posts which come in the heat of the moment. I'm in search of more balanced discussions - not to say, InThane, that the list you just joined isn't. (I'm referring to others in which, though I'm a self-proclaimed "leftist", I feel I'm not getting a balanced enough story.) Anywho, that's the long and short. I'm a Seattleite w/ dreams of Ecotopia. By the by, InThane, I'm the originator of the other list/forum you just joined. And, if I'm not mistaken, your coworker, R.B., is a friend of mine. We do AR work w/ NARN together. thanks again for the warm one. mx. "I'm man enough to tell you that I can't put my finger on exactly what my philosophy is now, but I'm flexible." -- Malcolm X

"Terrorists hate America because America is a land of freedom and opportunity." 2. "We intend to attack the root causes of terrorism." Sounds like everything is going according to plan.
