<<<Did I say i would invade his house?>>>

No, you said you were going to take a bunch of your kin and surround his apartment after arming yourselves with Glock .40s. Let us know how it turns out, we'll all write to you in prison. Preemptive is not a legal defense.

Along about next week Americans are going to find out the hard way what happens when a US President turns outlaw and starts attacking people without legal authority. North Korea is certain to view the unprovoked attack on Iraq and the current military build up in Asia as being next on George's Axis of Evil hit list. If the January projections of N. Korea's ability to produce up to 6 more nuclear devices in a matter of months was accurate, they now likely have close to 10 bombs, not to mention a ton of conventional stuff. Since preemptive is now the name of the game, their best time to strike is while George is busy attacking Iraq. Hitting Japan and US interests in South Korea will do us almost as much damage as if a bomb landed in New York or LA. In the mean time, every Muslim in the Middle East will be screaming for US blood, and unlike Iraq, most of them do have WMDs. Naturally George will want to nuke North Korea to get even. The only problem is North Korea is an ally of China who George has gone out of his way to alienate. George's lack of diplomacy has also gone a long way toward causing France and Russia to question our so called friendship, and the US as a rogue nation is a threat to everyone. In case you're too young to remember the Cold War, Russia holds the record for the highest yield nuclear test, and has over 2,000 bombs available. France is also nuclear and both countries have VX. Meanwhile back in Iraq, George has decided to launch his attack in the middle of sand storm season, which lasts around 2 months. Maybe he figures gas is harder to use when it's windy, but that isn't going to do our guys much good if they can't see anything, and all their high tech weapons are clogged with sand.

There's a good reason why the more sane members of the human race have developed customs against preemptive attacks. It is not a survival characteristic. Eventually enough force is brought to bear to eliminate the threat. Personally, I happen to resent a low life wacko like George Bush putting myself, my family, my friends and my country in harm's way in order to fulfill his half baked scams and lunatic dreams.
