Your just hurling insults, not making arguments. That's "you're" not "your", prof. And there was nothing insulting about Derek's post. Simply an idiomatic expression with no venom attached to it at all.

Those of us here on this board who would "mirror-image" Saddam and assume he would act rationally as we would, are falling in it, face first. Calm down, Derek. Drink at least one cup of coffee less. Your just hurling insults, not making arguments. I thought my point was quite plain, John, and no insult intended. Just pointing out that many posting here, including you, have made just the mistake made in the concept of "mirror-imaging" - assuming rational behavior where it does not necessarily belong. It's not as if a track record of mistakes on predicting Saddam's behavior hasn't been established in the past ten years. Derek
