Think Bay of Pigs--secret mission or Cuban Missile Crisis--in the dark OR Vietnam--LBJ lies OR--Nixons secret war.. Bush overkill is designed not to repeat that but i agree its just as dumb. The iraq analogy to chamberlin I agree is dumb--my point was that it is more like 1933 than 39. Rhineland et al. The question i can get nobody to bite on is repeated below: ".... because the US deterrent isnt credible to the arab states in the area who will ask the question whether the US will risk millions of casualties(combo bioterror and nukes) for them. And as i pointed out in an earlier post, I dont think our deterrent is credible in that case. France/DeGaulle believed this even in europe as did Israeli leaders when they created their regional deterrent. I find it hard to believe that most anti-war americans just assume that we will nuke iraq in that circumstance and find incredible that they(the opponents to this war) will support the US taking a 20million person hit and then vaporizing iraq. You are a bright guy--i would like you to think this one thru.
