<<So you think it's morally correct to act in preemption?>> I do. I also think the vast majority of your post was wholly inappropriate. I believe there can be a great level of thoughtful discourse without calling someone a coward or turning the thread into some food fight.

<< So you think it's morally correct to act in preemption? >> If your family's health and well being was at stake, would you not act in preemption? If not, what kind of a person, would you be, to let your family perish, when you knew someone was trying to harm them, and could stop them? Wouldn't it be cowardly, not to protect your own family. << If you are a first class coward and afraid of everyone else, do you kill everyone to make you feel safe? >> Afraid of everyone else? Let's see. Hmmmmm!? Do I fear the Canadians? Hmmm!? No. I don't think that I would want to kill Canadians. Hmmmm!? Do I fear the British? No. I wouldn't want to kill any British, except, perhaps for those that are pushing the Cheeky Girls. <g> Hmmm!? How about the Australians? No,.... I don't feel threatened by the Australians. ..... Hmmmm!? How about Saddam Hussein and his weapons of mass destruction, and his proven brutality and mass murder of others? There is no hmmmmm!? here. Best get rid of the madman Saddam, before he gets rid of us. Obviously, you'd prefer to see thousands more Americans die, rather than to remove a brutal, criminally dicator. << If you are afraid of your shadow, do you commit suicide? Don't reveal your cowardice and irrationality in a public forum. >> Sept 11th, and Saddam Hussein's development, and use, of chemical and biological weapons, on his own people, is a little more than a shadow. Is it rational, to want a brutal dicator like Saddam, to be able to make a sneak attack against American cities, and blame it on another terrorist group? << Apparently, you don't feel you have supernatural powers protecting you since you feel so vulnerable. So I guess you belong in the second category, appropriating the right to commit inhumane acts in the name of God. >> If there is a God, there is not one person on Earth, who has any idea, about who or what He is. << Too stupid to know that you are stupid, common sense is a threat to you. No wonder you fell vulnerable. Now crawl under your bed in a fetal position and suck your thumb. You will be safe from your shadow there. >> I wonder how smart you would feel if you were breathing in fumes from a Saddam Hussein chemical weapon. Not sure how you would feel? Ask some of the Iraqi survivers, who lived through Saddam's last use of chemical weapons, on his own people.
