I suggest you get used to it. I personally dont care if you like it or not. You have no understanding of the concept of self defense.

Let's not go there. If I respond to the above, I feel you will get emotional, threaten to leave the thread, and then I will feel bad <g>
So now we will deter the Islamists and WMD states with threats that are not idle.

Err... Invading one country and trying real hard to build support to invade the other in one year, nobody thinks the US is sitting "idle", trust me <ggg>

Bush said if they use WMD they should be prepared for [nuclear] return fire

You know it, I know it, and so does everyone else with the sense God promised a doorknob that America cannot launch a nuclear attack on a country that has not done the same to America. I would say impossible, given the irreparable damage it will do to American image, at home and abroad, if I thought Bush is a rational and intelligent person. As it is, I will say there is a very VERY small chance, but it is almost insignificant.

So it is a threat.

What international treaty prohibits responding in kind?

None. However, "responding in kind" assumes a nuclear attack from Iraq into US soil. Or how else would you define "responding in kind"?

You must make this stuff up.

Mike, you are a nice guy and I like talking to you but if you keep aggressing me like this you really cannot not be oh so delicate and say things like "I will post here no longer!" when I respond. Not yet, this is a good hair day, but I just might <g>

Please tell me what you think I am making up. I would like a quote and the link to the post I wrote it in. Thanks & regards...
