Sam, I think Saddam was a threat. I think China is a threat to our leadership position in the global economy. I think the Iran is a threat against Middle Eastern peace. I think North Korea is a threat against global peace and the integrity of golf. Saudi Arabia is a threat because of the vast amount of oil they control. The point is, everyone is a threat. That's just the way it is when you are top dog. I haven't been convinced that Iraq was strong enough of a threat to go in and really destroy lives; both American's and Iraq. Justice has to work both ways. If building a nuclear arms program is a threat, then the US is the biggest threat to the world. And if building a nuclear arms program is reason enough for the US to invade foreign soil, then isn't it reason enough for other countries to invade the US? Granted the problem is a bit more complicated because we are talking about nukes...I'm really divided on this won. But as such, I feel we needed a really compelling and water tight reason to go in. -- 2004 - The year $184M couldn't buy a pennant. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Special thanks to the CF Community Suite Gold Sponsor - CFHosting.net http://www.cfhosting.net Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:134947 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
