Re: Iraq (Did they invade another country? Was that other country the US, or a country that asked the US for assistance?). Yes and Yes. Tim

I don't know how these posts got by me but they did. Anyway... "If we go on consequences, then everyone poses a global threat" Right. "I choose to use the calculus I already articulated" Right. Your calculus is not bad. I think it is insufficient given the totality of circumstances...but you (as anyone else) can only relate to your own experience...so (given that none of us can make a perfect judgement by virtue of seeing the future)...perhaps your judgement is superior to mine. I have lived long enough to know that sometimes the good guys have to act first. I can also tell you that the US has been bombing Iraq for weeks and that the media will soon start reporting on it. It is not a question of IF you go to war... Maybe try to trust your people'intelligence and not be too cynical. Up to you...
