What you should not do is reject facts because you don't like their implications. Tom

>>Suspicious Incident at Md. Subway The Associated Press Tuesday, Oct. 9, 2001; 1:19 p.m. EDT TEMPLE HILLS, Md. –– A Metro subway station just outside Washington was closed Tuesday after an armed man scuffled with a police officer and a jar with an unknown substance fell onto the platform, officials said. Fire department hazardous-material teams in protective rubber suits responded after several people reported being sick. Mark Brady, a Prince George's County Fire Department spokesman, said a man dispensed some type of product in the subway station. "That product made people on the train sick, with dry throats and nausea," he said. About 15 people were isolated. Officials who run the Metro subway system said a scuffle broke out between a transit officer and man on a train after the passenger pulled a knife and gun. The train stopped at the Southern Avenue station on the Green Line and the fight continued onto the platform. Transit police took the man into custody. Officials said the officer and the armed man were not injured. << washingtonpost.com

I used to proudly wear the ilk badge, though that was another time and place. How would you rank Nadine and her Colin "Clueless" Powell line in your sophisticated analysis of what can and cannot be said about US foreign policy?

Thomas and his ilk are playing the part of Tokyo Rose, Axis Sally, Lord HawHaw, and so on. Every person they cause to feel doubt is one fewer person against their cause. Thomas is correct about the Abomb casualties though isn't he? Message 16477160 Most of the casualties occurred after the explosion and died horrible lingering deaths over the years. And the casualties were high compared to some of those other events like Dresden. I think we have to fight this war appropriately with that knowledge. It is preferable if there are no more nuclear explosions on this earth.

"We" don't have 500,000 dead Iraqi children on our hands. Saddam does. I don't see him foregoing his guns, chemicals, and bioweapons in order to feed them.
