2. Is it not also true that we are willing to bomb Iraq now because we know it cannot retaliate -- which just confirms that there is no real threat? We used to think that a threat was only a threat if it was backed with an army and navy. Post 9/11, what is the nature of a threat? Doesn't the subject bear some rethinking in light of events? And if Saddam is not a threat, how come the entire Arab world thinks he won the Gulf War? How dare he threaten to nuke Israel every other day, if he's no threat? Who is he training at Salmon Pak, and what for? How about an answer to these questions?
