What a pathetic reply to my post. Obfuscate when you can't argue the indefensible TP. Very typical of your ilk. I guess 9/11 was elective too? I guess Iraq's invasion of Kuwait was elective? The violation of the cease fire was elective? The violation of 12 years of UN resolutions was elective? That load of BS is as transparent as all of your political propaganda.

Here's someone who agrees with you. "The administration has said that Iraq has no right to stockpile chemical or biological weapons ("weapons of mass destruction") -- mainly because they have used them in the past...." "Well, if that's the standard by which these matters are decided, then the U.S. is the nation that set the precedent. The U.S. has stockpiled these same weapons (and more) for over 40 years. The U.S. claims that this was done for deterrent purposes during the "Cold War" with the Soviet Union. Why, then is it invalid for Iraq to claim the same reason (deterrence)..." "When considering the use of weapons of mass destruction against Iraq as a means to an end, it would be wise to reflect on the words of the late U.S. Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis. His words are as true in the context of Olmstead as they are when they stand alone: "Our government is the potent, the omnipresent teacher. For good or for ill, it teaches the whole people by its example."
