Karen, I just saw "The Real Saddam" on the Discover channel. Highly educational, do see it. For instance, when they were debriefing Hussein Kamel, Saddam's cousin & son-in-law, after his spectacular defection in 1995, he revealed Saddam's plans for his first two nuclear bombs: 1) truck one over the border into Kuwait and set it off 2) float one into Haifa harbor and set it off Oh, yeah, this guy is deterrable, let's bet on it.

Under the guise of National Missile Defense, the Administration - or elements within it - even dreams of extending US military hegemony beyond the bounds of the Earth itself (an ambition clearly indicated in the official paper on Defense Planning Guidance for the 2004-09 Fiscal Years, issued this year by Rumsfeld's office). And while this web of ambition is megalomaniac, it is not simply fantasy. Given America's overwhelming superiority, it might well work for decades until a mixture of terrorism and the unbearable social, political and environmental costs of US economic domination put paid to the present order of the world. Megalomania. And we thought that was the domain of Saddam. In the Bush Admin case, it takes several to know one. Megolamania? Guess it's not megolamania when the warnings about the danger of rogue states like North Korea armed with nukes and ballistic missiles capable of reaching the continental United States IS PROVEN CORRECT. Reading the news lately, Karen? Derek
