A) Totally unrelated to the point. 2) Are you suggesting then that those that got us into this mess are really and truly sane? > America bombed this country daily for 12 years and started 2 > unwarranted, unprovoked, and unconstitutional wars of aggression > against them and one against Afghanistan despite them not posing a > credible threat and not having the weapons. Which sorta proves my point about sanity and the claim does it not? > Having the means is not enough to involve the U.S. Military. Nor is > only having intent. In fact, having both means and intent is also not > enough. Actually carrying out an attack against us (not our allies), > is the only thing that is enough. And here is where you fail. Having means and intent are exactly what defines a credible threat. Combining means and intent is by definition a credible threat. And therefore something to be taken seriously not lightly as you seem to suggest. BWS ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Check out the new improvements in Yahoo!
