Just venting my frustration with the thread. I "feel" your frustration, to quote, loosely, a famous American. I'm hoping that, while the frustration runs high, we can keep the personal stuff to a low roar. There've been two genuinely stellar posts recently. Frank's, which most acknowledged, and carranza2's on Jamie Rubin's piece in Foreign Affairs. I keep meaning to read that issue. It's the third item down in my pile of books on the side of my desk, sitting just beneath Greg Iles new book, The Footprints of God (his usual very good read), and a book on stock market technical analysis which just saved us some money on some ccs I wrote on Qualcomm.

You know, John, the "black helicopter" crowd would fit in pretty well with the local W worshippers, they had similar attitudes toward the UN, and probably somewhat similar political sympathies too. Then there's the locally popular alleged conspiracy by Saddam to feed W bogus defectors to make him invade Iraq. Why, exactly, Saddam wanted W to invade Iraq is left as an exercise for the discerning conservative mind, I guess. I'm sure there's a "logical" explanation.
