I would have to disagree with you on that point. But, then, I admit that if I were given a choice, I would rather see another incident like the World Trade Center than a nuclear exchange with China or Russia. The number of people who would be killed, not to mention the ecological devastation caused by a nuclear strike, makes it an easy choice to make. Not, mind you, that I want to see another WTC attack. >While I doubt that Musharraf approved the attack, the ISI has supported >those organizations right from their inception, and Musharraf has refused to >do anything to suppress them - he has, in fact, encouraged them a great >deal - since the moment he took office.

If my earlier comments were unjustified and ignorant, I certainly apologize for them. Thanks for helping set me straight. God, I'd never make a good politician. Too easy for me to admit when I'm wrong. ;-) Sliante, Richard S.
