Mike and Cary, Mike: of course Saddam's word is worthless.

Cary: there must have been many back in 1938 who felt Roosevelt was a wimp. Here's one example of action that could have led to that conclusion

>September 26
President Roosevelt appealed for peace directly to Hitler and President Benes.
Department of State PRESS RELEASES, October 1, 1938, Vol. XIX, p 219.

and

April 14
Communication of President Roosevelt to Chancellor Hitler and Premier Mussolini: Plea for 10-year guaranty of peace.
Department of State PRESS RELEASES, April 15, 1939, Vol. XX, p. 527

He later rose to the occasion.

PS: taking the dog to the vet now.

Michael,

You are desperately searching for assurances in an area that no such assurances can exist. Even if they could exist, these assurances could not be guaranteed through words, actions, or deeds.

Everything is subject to change. Everything is subject to risk. Even life itself.

Risks to us all increase when fools tempt, incite, and corner madmen in hopes of political gains.
