Mmm.. Ya covered a lot of ground there! ... And I can't begin to suggest a solution to the world's security.

Some things I can only surmise on are that I do not believe Saddam is "x weeks away from nuclear" whatevers. This is a point of controversy with the Admin and people who actually have inspected Iraq.

Yea.. there is one big fucking problem it he ventures to provide some terrorist organization with facilities to manufacture either nuclear or biological weapons...

However... not by one long shot, is Saddam the only possible supplier to any such organization.. what were "friends" of the US in the past (some are now!).. have this capability. Many weapons have been supplied to countries in the past and this has subsequently backfired. Suppose the top of the list is US followed by UK - both sustained good ecomonic rates due to arms trading. At one time over 25% of the UK's exports comprised arms trading.

As for bin Laden blah... he and is countrymen fought on behalf of the "west" and were supplied with arms to do this. Then, when the battle time passed and he became expendable, there were many broken promises by western powers. So hell... I dunno! :-)

There is no way any sane person can condon violence, either on Sept 11 incident or by bombing others. There is also no way any sane person can consider invading a country and putting their own citizens lives at stake and the many others who will suffer in the process without having a very just cause.

At the end of the day, people have to talk and try and understand the opinions of others. Forget the stupid people who break promises and try to be smart.. they don't count. Ya just gotta stick with it and "talk extensively" before committing to action. Don't know... but get this nasty feeling if the US embarks on any "invasion", this will cause unending problems for both the US and many other countries (too complicated to discuss here!!) ... and will .. well.. just be so damning to the US and I for one, certainly have no wish to see this come to pass.

This is not one bit "easy" for a President... but I somehow think he may be badly "offline" here.
