I do wish we have had the balls to just mount a covert operation to take out Saddam. Agreed. I saw a newscast tonight whereby the US was attending to injured civilians in ? city who were fleeing across a bridge and the Iraq military? started to shoot at them. I'd bet the civilians wish a covert operation had been the chosen rather than an all out fire storm war. It's hard to tell them " you're much better off this way".

Interesting. I guess it's a good thing I never wanted to work for IBM. What you say has the ring of truth to it, about credit checks and arrests for political activities. Do you have any opinion, as to how pervasive that attitude is in business? Just the Fortune 500? Just for management-track positions, or any positions? If I wasn't a physician, the other choices were history professor, or starving artist. For those, probably an arrest record are career-enhancing moves. <I wish our troops well in Iraq and Kuwait> Me too. <and will welcome the day they remove that regime.> Me too.
