Hawk, we don't really disagree much, except that I suspect my line is harder on the anti-Islamic line. I am long in the tooth and while the USA will certainly be doing the old disinformation thing, and conducting some cruel interrogations and summary killings and covering up horrors perpetrated by thugs pretending to be soldiers, not to mention hiding embarrassing things like the killing of Tillman, there is nothing along the lines of Beslan and general carnage, head hackings of innocents by the dozen and other arbitrary carnage. Yet. But the megatonnage nukes are fit for only one purpose which is mass extermination of cities. Sure, they can also be used for bunker busting, and mountain moving, but that's not their real job. It's MAD, but that's the plan. I disagree with the whole approach to Iraq, and Afghanistan too for that matter, but when push comes to shove, the Afghanistan invasion was understandable, though in my book not done in the right way with the right supranational constitutional concepts. I suspect that all along Moslems knew that not everyone in the Islamic superstition is in more agreement on theological dogma than they are in the various brands of Christianity, which have been at each other's throats for centuries. I doubt that they figured that out with the frequent bombings of fellow Moslems in Iraq and being "forced" to by the USA. Mqurice
