Please surprise me by making a resonable response to a resonable point without resorting to the refuge of the ignorant - implied and explicit insults. Neither you, nor I, nor Sam, nor anyone one this board know what the "facts" are. We are all speculating based on what we read and how we analyze it. Let's keep the conversations on a higher level than the school playground and we may all learn something. > Qadafi is cooperating with the UN, something Sadaam never did. >From what I can see, we have no idea how much Mr. Qadafi is cooperating with the UN. I've read many articles that say the "cooperation" is driven by his son, but that Mr. Qadafi is skeptical and possibly only doing it to secure funding a la North Korea. Secondly, Hussein was cooperating with the UN, at least in principle, otherwise how would there have been the oil-for-food program, UN fly overs, or weapons inspections. On a side note, are you on a first name basis with Hussein? You keep calling him "Sadaam" as if he were your neighbor who just mowed your lawn. > Stating that France could be readying mass amounts of troops just in case Kerry wins > would be just as stupid(wait, isn't Kerry implying this?). Have you spoken with the Prime Minister or Defense Minister? I work with about 20 Frenchman everyday who all didn't support the war, but would support troops in Iraq if Mr. Kerry were elected. I will predict that both France and Germany would send troops when Mr. Kerry is elected. They will be anxious to restore relations with America, are looking for business investment in their country, and would like a piece of the action in Iraq. > 3.)

Both programs where active under Clinton, And both countries were cooperating with the UN under Mr. Clinton.

And the world is in fact working with us towards these goals > (so much for the isolated US). We just pulled troops out of North Korea and Mr. Bush refuses to do what China has asked us to do and meet privately with the North Koreans. So far this "work" has resulted in North Korea declaring that they have multiple nuclear weapons and test firing a missile they claim can reach the US. That doesn't sound like progress to me, it sounds like things are going backwards. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=17 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:133495 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
