>> Yeah but they didn't did they?
No they didnt. We should have then threatened to pull our troops out, and
stop enforcing the no-fly-zone. Which may have caused an uproar in the Int'l
community which might have put pressure on the UN to act, or at the very
least expose it as yet another ineffective League of Nations.

act.

So according to you, the US should invade other countries because of the
posture they take that could be percieved as a threat?

How is this scary? This is what we do. We build the first nukes and use them
(albeit, I believe in a correct fashion). We hold some of the largest
stockpiles of Chemical and Biological weapons on the planet but we stand up
in front of the rest of the world and say, "No, it isnt safe if you have
them?".

Certainly not wait, and we did the right thing in Afghanistan, but this
whole color scheme and "threat level warnings" are bullshit.

Bush is a leader in title only. He has not proven to me that he has the
qualifications to hold the same hallowed office too many other competent men
have.
