If Saddam steps out of line, whack him. Until then, lower the rhetoric. Bush's regime is now talking about the right to use first strike nuclear force. How insane can they get?

Your absolutely right. Bush repeats his belligerent rhetoric so frequently, its losing its impact. And when he flails around too the extreme, someone in his administration will undercut him by saying "he didn't mean to go that far". Its a ridiculous game that I think has its origins in the "Spare the rod, spoil the child" school of behavior.

And the right considers this to be a classy example of foreign diplomacy. Of course, they also believe T. Lott will make a good Majority Leader in the Senate; someone who has a long history of being a racist..........and not in the too distant past.

And then they try to sell the idea that the Rep. party is good for minorities. Right! And I've got several bridges and tunnels to sell ya! <g>

The military industrial government conspiracy
prudes believe that the only way the American free enterprise system works is at the point of a gun.


Who would you define as "the military industrial government conspiracy prudes". Its possible that they really think that way but there are few of them.

If Saddam steps out of line, whack him.

He has been stepping out of line for over a decade.

Bush's regime is now talking about the right to use first strike
nuclear force.


In response to non-nuclear WMD use against us, not randomly dropping nukes on anyone who annoys us.
