I think we should spend money to protect ourselves against any reasonable threat. I think the threat of an ICBM with a nuclear warhead falling into the "wrong hands" is reasonable. >So you are saying let them live in shitholes? I don't understand.

No, I don't think we should let them live in shit holes. But I do not think it is our responsibility to make sure everybody had a Nintendo. What I am saying is that it seems to me to be along the same lines as the posts about the homeless in this thread. Why does bin Laden hate the west? I am not sure. I know he hates the fact the US military has a base in the Islamic holy land. That makes him very mad. I think he hates the west because he thinks the west hates him. Or he could just be a nut. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com. The place for dependable ColdFusion Hosting.
