>The war part is already won. Its the peace part, and building a democracy, that is the question. My feeling is that after June, if the new caretaker gov. asks the US to leave, we will. And then if a new, aggressive, oppressive government which allows the country to be plunged into civil war arises, well, oops! -Z

Ted Re...The fear is very reasonable. There are no guarantees during an earthquake. I've been through a 6.3 and I know of what I am talking. What difference does that make. The new reactors, by design, can't melt down even if 100% of the cooling is lost. In the old reactors it could, but they can't now, with the new designs. Secondly, you wouldn't normally build a nuke on a fault line. There is nothing we can build that can withstand the destructive power of the worst quakes. Let WI build nuclear. That's not an acceptable alternative in the West. Sorry. They are probably coming here; and my bet is; that they will be in WA. before long, if you have another yr. like 2000, and Nat. gas prices keep going up. Not likely.......our major power source is hydroelectric, not NG. Fine. I am sure that there were people like you around during the Vietnamese War that perpetuated that war for years beyond what it should have been. Still trying to use Nam to discredit Iraq, are we. Nam was a different war. There are more similarities than neocons care to admit. Nonetheless, Nam was very winnable, if we would have fought the right enemy with the right tactics. Johnson didn't let the army men fight the war, the way it should have been. None the less, lessons were learned, and weren't repeated in Afghanistan or Iraq. Right and the moon is made of green cheese! Defeatist talk is not knowing when to throw in the towel for your country's own good. Huh. Where did you get that definition. Link please. I think you have one to many Nots in there, for what you wanted to say. I don't need links to know when I am right.
