If man has no free will then that is true by Newtons first law. But in that I believe men have free will Newtons third law applies and thus you have found the exception that make all Albert Einstein said true. If Sadam is insane then their is not free will. But an insane man with the resources of Iraq must be neutralized. It's a question of how rational the vector is. The Concept of Force We have an intuitive idea of what a "force" is. We may think of a force as a "push" or a "pull". The direction of a force is important for force is a vector. (Recall my ancient joke(?) about the two friends trying to push a piano through the door -- one trying to push it into the apartment and the other trying to push it out of the apartment). The net force on an object is the vector sum of all the forces on that object. If the net force is non-zero an object's motion will change. We will see more of this with Newton's Second Law. oldsci.eiu.edu

'You cannot simultaneously prepare for and prevent war.' -Albert Einstein Scott, Isnt that what deterrence is? and isnt that the US policy you support in Iraq? Certainly worked with the Soviets, no? Or are you for unilateral disarmament by the US? Do you think that would work with Iraq? Do you think that would have been better than containment with the Russians? Many on the left did back then as i remember. Its only after the fact that Reagan Soviet policy has gained such wide spread support. Many back then viewed him as a warmonger. As Yogi said, this is deja vu all over again. Mike PS Einstein was wrong here but i do recognize it was because he had a good heart. I feel many folks opposing US policy fall into that category and i feel no anger toward them. mike
