If you add up all the cost of the war since was 1st waged upon us in the 70's(while we sat on our fat hands in 70's,80's and 90's), it's probably 3 times Viet Nam. The cost in the next 90 to 100 years(or longer) will keep growing. Then there's the many 1000's KIA in Iran, Beirut(83), Lockerbie TWA, Achilie Laura, 1993 attack on World Trade Center(aw shucks, call the cops), USS Cole, 9/11(3000 KILLED IN ACTION IN 2 HOURS), African Embassies, London Subways, Spain commuter train. Golly your money is going to be peed away...and imagine the cost of buying berkas for you granddaughters.....WOW, your going to have to sacrifice your Cruises, Hawaii vacations and more. HAP

wHoo?? ...Me?!! Certainly not Mr. Radd. GW is but the natural result of Nixon, who begot Ford, who begot Carter, who begot Reagan, who begot GH, who begot Clinton, who begot GW. Obviously there has been a pox upon all their houses. Indeed, to date we have traced the trail of Presidential Pox filled copralites all the way back to Andrew Jackson's out-house... And as soon as our funding is made available we suspect it will take us farther back to Ben Franklin's excursion through the Royal Pox Houses of Europe. From there we expect to establish a link to the famed Marco Polo Pox... and thus work our way back to the Pox of The Great Khan. It's certainly interesting work... but of course it has nothing to do with the degree of despising you currently enjoy. No Mr. Radd. Unfortunately your problem there is that you are now the only *Greater Evil* silly enough to demand star billing. Since the demise of The Great Bear, the only ones dumb enough to join the cast of your show are the sorry little *Lesser Evils* that nobody else gives a Hoo Hoot about. So you are always going to win the Despicable Oscar by default. :) Of course you could learn to shut up and sit down and stop demanding all the starring roles. But then... I don't think your ego could take that... at least not before you get to tell Scarlett you don't give a damn... slam the door in her face... and walk off into the war ravaged darkness of blockade running, smuggling and profiteering one more time. But I could be wrong. <vbg> 0\|0
