Well, I guess I think that ignoring problems doesn't make them go away. It worked out really well for us 6 months ago. You call it poking the ant hill, I call it bringing to bear the international attention that these assholes need. Personally, I'm tired of pussy-footing around these guys. We've been doing it for years and it has accomplished nothing. You think Apartheid would have ended if it were not for the huge International pressure put on them? It's the same principle. We've tried sanctions. Failed. We've tried diplomacy. Failed. Now it's time to raise the stakes.

> Your reactions seem very short sighted. The US will not use nuclear weapons in an unprovoked, offensive manner. If a foreign enemy launches or detonates a nuclear device/weapon in New York, London, Moscow, Paris, etc. the President reserves the right to use nuclear weapons as one of many options in response. If Saddam drops a Nuke on Israel and gives signs that it will do it again, what then? We keep letting him? You think Tony Blair will stand by if London is attacked and hope that it won't happen again. I think that Truman's decision was the correct one and if given the same scenario (drop the bomb and the war/violence will end, or risk losing countless other innocent lives) I think the President should use the same decision making process. I don't care if it's Bush, Clinton, > Reagan, or Carter; I feel sorry for the man that has to make that decision. This man seems to enjoy poking at the ant hill to see what kind of reaction he will get. He is a lousy politician. Now, I know that we aren't on the best terms with some countrys, but publicly calling them things like an Axis of Evil (tm) sure as heck doesn't help smooth those relations. I'm just amazed at the assinine stuff that comes out of his mouth some times.
