You are probably wrong. War is not imminent because we are not ready. We will be in about one month. Also, I believe that the statements Bush makes are directed at Saddam primarily, and not at the US populace. I also believe that the US is trying very hard to get a rebellion going in Iraq,

I can only say amen. I'm also upset that I have to pay GST on things I buy from the States. I think a US plant would rather set up in a maquiladora in Ciudad Juarez, for instance, where environmental and labour laws are primitive, than allow those same workers into an Arizona or Texas plant. It's

September 11th was a defining moment in history, it showed that America could be attacked within her own borders; it didn't need an ICBM as has been the thinking. It would be tragic that when (not if) it happens again; and what could be the outcome (will cities not buildings lay waste)?
