Tom said <1. Filing paperwork for the Army does not make you a warrior.> I did not say I was a warrior. Although I did not fill out paperwork! Tom said <You however cannot see past your tie-dyed, rose colored, "all we need is love" mask that you have created in your own mind.> I said you miss judged me. <2. I never once mentioned the use of nuclear weapons by the U.S.> Bush has said nuclear weapons are on the table <3. I GUARANTEE you more death if nothing is done now.> This 'war' will increase terrorism according the US govt. The removal of Saddam is a goal of Bin Ladin - so in fact the USA will actually be supporting terrorism by attacking Iraq. War is the only sure way of increasing death. But some how Tom 'knows' the war will save us. <4. I GUARANTEE you that we all will pay for the rebuilding of Iraq just like we did in Japan (did they rebuild Pearl?)... Name ONE other country that has repaid war debt to ANY other country - JUST ONE.> 'This article discusses the obligations incurred by foreign governments for loans made to them by the United States during and shortly after World War I. For international obligations arising out of World War II, see lend-lease . As early as 1914 the United States began to extend credits for the purchase of American goods to the European Allies, and in 1915 the first of many long-term war loans was made to the Allied powers. In addition to loans made during the war itself, loans and credits were extended for several years after the armistice, both to allied and former enemy nations. All the debtor nations except Russia (where the USSR had replaced the Russian Empire) recognized their obligations.' The USA has sent 6 personnel with a budget of 6 million to rebuild Afghanistan. (so far) <5. Are you ready to accept responsibility for American deaths as a result of not doing anything to stop Hussein's support of terrorism?> Saddam is not supporting terrorism he is the enemy of Bin Ladin. <6. Name ONE illegal weapon in the U.S. military's arsenal.> Your right having biological nuclear and chemical weapons is only illegal for other counties, it's ok for the USA to have them. The USA has chemical weapons to use on its own population! Like the CS gas that was used to kill women and children at the govt massacre at Waco. <7. What question of yours have I not answered? He11, I did your Peace Corps homework for you (yet you offer me no proof of your claims and allegations) - I'm getting tired of spoon feeding you.> Tom has done a valiant job, thank you Tom. <8. Some of the things that I have learned are in my posts on this board - but then again I know you haven't been reading them.> You are right Tom I have not read all the posts - have you? <9. No one wishes to be bombed - the people in the WTC's didn't wish to have a plane flown into them.> Yes that is true and a country that lets know terrorist into there country and then trains them to fly planes but not to land them and has information of terrorist threats regarding use of airplanes as weapons, does not respond quickly enough to stop any of the airplanes, has some serious questions to ask of there government - and yet this government is focusing on an enemy of the number one suspect in the 9-11 attack (Bin Ladin), a country that is no threat to the USA and no threat for the foreseeable future. An act which is sure to cause an increase in terrorism. Why? <10. Are you willing to bet your children on the fact that Hussein will not give CBR weapons to terrorists?> Yes - if Saddam has any CRB weapons he needs all of them to defend himself against a foreign invasion. Thank you Tom
