Re: <A true leader is really just a follower?>

Maybe so........when the leader's actions are leading to divisiveness on every front instead of a cohesion of purpose.

What do you think?


I think our security should outweigh concerns over divisiveness on foreign fronts.

Think about it. The divisiveness you are so concerned about is actually pretty trivial compared to the security risk we face -- a few countries and various people throughout the world simply don't want what they think is an unnecessary war. Unnecessary to them, anyway. They'll get over it. And if they don't, what choice do we have?

Are you seriously saying you don't think S.H. wouldn't jump at the chance to give A.Q. a few million doses of [insert any WMD here]? Everybody KNOWS S.H. has WMD, and he is obviously determined to hang on to them for some reason.

Even if you think Iraq wouldn't collaborate with terrorists, what makes you so sure? IMO the risk of it is enough to take drastic measures, especially after experiencing the horror of 9/11 and how some people would LOVE to stick it to us with any WMD they could get their hands on.

I just can't understand how people can hang on to 'inspections' or 'containment' or whatever 'nonviolent' option dejour. The only way to solve the problem is for Iraq to completely and totally disarm before our eyes. They had their chance to do just that. And now we're supposed to think that they are disarming because they'll allow U2 flights?

C'mon!

Ted, I vaguely remember a few months ago that you were against the idea of resuming the war with Iraq a few months ago, but okay with the concept if necessary. You really don't think disarming Iraq is necessary? Seriously? Can't you see it is a complete sham unless Iraq 'fesses up' so to speak?

'Nuff rambling. Have the last word, I need to get back to work.
