Nadine -

I see. And to what should we attribute the difference between the rhetoric of fear that the administration was broadcasting in the run-up to the Iraq war and their response to a man who is clearly insane, has nukes, and is working on missiles that will get them to our shores? I mean, I notice that we don't have Condy Rice, Cheney, and Rumsfeld all using the phrase "mushroom cloud" on the Sunday morning talk shows, as they did withiin a few hours one day in 2002.

It's a very interesting contrast.

It's also interesting how conservatives support diplomacy in this case, when it has already been tried, but were all to willing to give up on it in dealing with Saddam, because it had already been tried. Could that difference in the broadcast fear level have something to do with it?
