but somehow we seem to be addressing different topics Not even hardly. No. And I don't think the terrorists will like the final results, either. Smallpox didn't like it either. <g> You make assumptions about what the final results will be. Now yesterday's voting in Iraq gives cause for hope. But the game is hardly over. But as Lucretius said. Life goes on. It is the lives, the lives, the lives that die... Lotta good that does you or I. How many countries/groups has the U.S. bribed or coerced?! You make it sound like a dirty word! And the Shah came back... Came back to what? To die in Mexico? Let's see. I give you $$$$ to use some of your acreage to station troops whose purpose is to take a madman mass killer. You use the money to hire Mafia hit men to kill people you don't like. But we are morally equivalent. You sure about the color?! Depends on the person? :-) Nixon's visit to China was one of the significant events/vectors of world history. Go have a talk with Lizzy Tudor about that. The steam engine was another. The cotton gin another. Global warming? So I'm told. The containment of WMD's by a united world effort (the only way it can be done)...MIGHT be another. Nuts. Too many without them want them and will outvote you. Those who have them will hardly vote to disarm. Let us hope so. As Einstein said (paraphrased). If there is another world war--the next one after that will be fought with rocks. Better start collecting your pile. "None but the dead have seen the end of war." - Plato
