What is a "clear and present danger" and an "immediate threat

9/11 showed us - 15 Saudi nationals flying planes into our buildings at the behest of bin Laden.

If we're eager to bomb someone the most logical would be Saudi Arabia, if anybody. Instead, of course, due to deep relationships with Bush, that's avoided and Afghanistan was pounded into rubble, and the bin Laden leadership allowed an air corridor to Pakistan. Just another "oops!" supposedly.

It's a mistake to think if we just wash our hands of the Persian Gulf, oil will continue to flow.

They either sell oil, or get overthrown. That's why the American Consumer has more power than the hampered US military, if ever American gasoline retailers labeled the contents of the pumps with the percentage from terrorist-supporting producers. The Saudis would be gone, or would change their ways instantly.

If Iraq threatens its neighbors, they can ask for our help. They haven't.
