Charleymane, I have the author of post #111 on ignore. We'll agree to disagree on your "knee bone connected to the hip bone" analysis. 1) Saddam was contained, and there was no rational need to attack him. The Bushies cynically manipulate people like you with your natural xenophobia to confuse capturing a bad guy with anything to do with effective foreign policy. 2) Qaddafi was not "scared" as the silly right-wing radio suggests. He was making a shrewd assessment of the potential for investment in his oil industry infrastructure and cut a deal that profits both sides. 3) Blackmail nations? Gimme a break. By an order of magnitude the worst blackmailer on the plantet today is the crazy neocon cabal running U.S. foreign policy. Who started two wars in two years on the flimsiest of evidence which they are actively trying to keep out of the public record? 4) "less likely opportunity for terrorists to get a bomb" -- do you have the faintest idea what it takes to produce a nuclear weapon? This is simply beyond the financial and techical ability of private individuals. It takes nation states to set up the research and development apparatus. If I read this cockamamie "this = that = thus = and = so" again I'm going to bust a gut laughing.
