NEW DELHI, April 4: A day after he yet again stirred up a militarist exchange of words with Pakistan, Indian External Affairs Minister Yashwant Sinha claimed on Friday that New Delhi had a better case to launch pre-emptive strikes against its foe than the United States had over Iraq.

And how many days did it take for that can of worms to open? Now who's going to close it?

That right there was the #1 reason not to start Bush's war and very few people understood what pre-emptive strikes would eventually lead to.

<< Pre-emptive war...now there's an idea everyone can use: >>

There are many countries who have wanted to invade other nations for decades. Do you know what has stopped them? Probably not. I'll tell you. American military might has kept this world free and safe for democracy, and it will keep doing it.

Do you really believe that America's liberation of the Kosovo Albanians, or the American liberation of Kuwait, Afghanistan or Iraq is going to cause some cowardly backward nation to start a Pre-emptive war, and risk displeasing America?

Even the cowardly, backward Arab dictatorships will think twice before causing any trouble for Israel.
