OT John, I wonder about Bush, about his motivation, How about this? bankstocks.com Excerpt: Saddam shares some of Hitler's most dangerous traits, Pollack says. His history of foreign policy decisions is littered with bizarre judgments and catastrophic miscalculations, such as his invasion of Iran, his expectation of repulsing the U.S. in Kuwait, and his continued dismissal of our will and capabilities. He sees himself as a great man in history, the new Saladin. His goal is to head a new pan-Arab union with Iraq as a superpower in total control of the Persian Gulf. Once Saddam has a nuclear weapon, he expects to deter the U.S. and Israel under all circumstances. His weapons of mass destruction program have been so important to him that he's been willing to give up $130 to $180 billion in oil revenue in order to hang on to them, sacrificing his people, the Iraqi economy, and conventional military power. Pollack believes, as many other experts do, that Saddam may achieve that nuclear capability within one to four years, and could become emboldened by its possession. He is far more of a gambler than were the Soviets.

John: "So let's look at what we are doing to defend ourselves against that 1 in 9,270,000 chance of dying from terrorism. We are risking many American lives (more than 1 in 9,270,000?) in a war to conquer and occupy another country" This is a perfect example of pea-brain logic. With your reasoning, you can conclude that, when millions of Americans drive through tens of thousands of traffic lights at busy intersections every day in the U.S., with a near-zero death rate, that we would be safe to remove all these traffic lights and save on the electric bill that was used to operate them. You are a clear illustration of someone using faulty and distorted logic to put forth his own subtle political agenda. Sooze
