That IS interesting, Sarah!

I'll answer your questions in reverse order, Sarah. First, who appointed us "planet police," with the power to decide who should and should not be running countries? The majority of Iraq's citizens at least SEEM to respect and revere Saddam. This morning on NPR there was a story about the increase of gun sales to "ordinary" Iraqis, and a man being interviewed said Iraqis would defend their country, their families, their honor, and Saddam. Just as WE would defend Bush because he is our President (whether or not we like him or the job he's doing). Second, IF Saddam must be removed from power -- for whatever reason -- why (other than its inepitude) can't the CIA send an assassin to take him out? This bullshit that we don't assassinate is just that: bullshit. Sending in thousands of troups is simply assassination on a massive scale. Bush is playing with a way bigger fire than he believes he is, because the rest of the Arab world is not going to stand by and do nothing while we march in and ... (I'll say it again) take the oil. Now will someone please tell me why we're not stomping our feet harder about North Korea's recent actions?? Are we afraid of North Korea, or of China, or is it because they don't have anything we want? Lori
