David Re..Do you think we are seeing the beginning of WW III? <<< I think we had to move decisively to get rid of Saddam before OBL was able to regroup, and by putting in a new democratic regime in Iraq, control 22 mil. people, and the oil fields. You just can't leave that many people, and that much oil, in the hands of a ruthless dictator, with a ruthless organization ready to help him solidfy the arab world. How are we now going to be able to encourage reforms in Iran, and SA, if they think OBL will be able to raise his ugly head again, and encourage more massadrahs, and encourage more hate for Israel. We have lost a golden opportunity. Now it looks as if any outcome to the war will be bad. A split in NATO, at the least; with no concerted action, will mean a much tougher road ahead. A real concern is that there was a senator, who was on the armed intelligence committee, on TV the other day who had a model of a suitcase bomb. It looked about 20% bigger than a normal attache case. In it was a model of an atomic explosive device which would generate 20 kilo tons of force. Enough to destroy Manhattan. He said Russia, during their crisis 3 yrs ago lost 80 of them. More than enough to kill millions of people. Here were are fucking around with the UN while OBL and Saddam are gathering enough strength, and possibly getting brave enough to use them. If we don't act decisively soon, all hell will break out.
