>Okay, Z, but now tell us how that action is any different then say a Hitler over running Poland for an example. Uhhh... Poland wasn't extorting the Germans, nor was it producing terrorists. >It seems to me we are the oil gluttons who have allowed our dependency to worsen over the years. I guess you could kill the pimp but I suspect there will be another one to take its place. Not if we controlled the supply! -Z

Ted, Re: Okay, Z, but now tell us how that action is any different then say a Hitler over running Poland for an example. It isn't. Reading Z's posts with phrases like "We are the best country in the world, bare none" or "Let's invade Saudi Arabia" (and take over the world?) reminds me of the darkest chapter of our history. This sort of thinking allowed the Nazi's to seize power in Germany and encouraged them in their "world domination" plans. Just replace Germans with Americans and Jews with Arabs and you don't see a whole lot of a difference in both "ideologies". It's really sad (and somewhat frightening) to read something like this on this thread. I really hope that people thinking like Z are a minority in the US. Andreas
