If this is "not hostile" G-d spare us from real enemies. Seriously, what do you think the situation in the Gulf will be like once Saddam has nukes?

Nadine... I'm surprised you failed to mention that Saddam has attempted to shoot down US aircraft MANNED BY AMERICAN FLESH AND BLOOD PILOTS on almost a DAILY basis..

No.. Saddam has just been "hostile".. He's been AT WAR with the US since the end of Desert Storm, and we've been too dull brained to recognize it..

But somehow we seem not to care that our pilot's lives are at risk every day they are required to contain Saddam..

Just goes to show either the power of the media in ignoring the CURRENT risks to American military personnel, or the unwillingness of certain individuals to acknowledge it.

You can think of other countries who have done most of those, can't you?

I can think of two islamist countries that have nuclear weapons. Quite a few who have "poured gasoline" on Isr-Pal conflict. And if you were flying "American flesh and blood" pilots over any country who feels they are the enemy, its people might feel like shooting them down as well :)
