<< I'm sure they would have loved to spray anthrax with gleeful abandon if they could work out the details. >> Of course they would. I feel that they attempted to attack us with their chemical or biological weapon(s), when their plan for a chemical air assault failed. So........ if they attempted to attack us, and the only attack on the US was with antrax, then it follows that it was the Arab murderers that did it. << They're innocent until proven guilty. >> The Arab terrorist organizations already killed 3000 of our best. So, excuse me if I don't seem anxious to give them the benefit of the doubt, when it comes to using other weapons of mass destruction. << Blaming the Arabs for everything is as bad as every conspiracy bug blaming the Jews for everything. >> How about blaming Arabs for everything that is bad, that they are responsible for? How about the mistreatment of women, and the denial of basic rights to women? How about the Arab nations attacking Israel several times, over many decades, with the aim of totally murdering all Israelis? How about the Arab nations, even today, denying Israel's right to exist? How about Arab nations' racist and religious intolerance in trying purge all their nations of Christians and Jews? How about every Arab nation being a dictatorship? How about an Arab nation that uses chemical weapons to murder hundreds of thousands of their own people? How about the murderers who attacked the United States being from Arab nations? It's a good thing that God didn't create the Arabs first. He would have seen what a mistake He had made, and forgot about creating any more humans.

I'm sure they would have loved to spray anthrax with gleeful abandon if they could work out the details. In 1920, Winston Churchill felt that poison gas was just right for use against "uncivilized tribes" of Kurds and Afghans. A disarmament convention in 1932 sought to ban the bombing of civilians, but Britain's Lloyd George insisted on "reserving the right to bomb niggers." George Bush in 1980 pleaded that a nuclear war was winnable: "You have a survivability of command in control, survivability of industrial potential, protection of percentage of your citizens and you have capability that inflicts more damage on the opposition than it can inflict upon you. That's the way you can have a winner". Tom
