I wonder what would have happened if the USA had considered Iraq wasn't actually a threat early on. And I wonder what would have happened if in 1612 the pope had been a midget. And of course I also wonder what Hitler had for his last supper. I think we should ignore most threats that probably aren't really much of a threat to us- but you go ahead and compare things to Hitler. It makes Hitler kind of a joke, but whatever.

>>Wonder what would have happened if USA considered the potential outcome of Hitlers activities early on. Now we have another lunatic in Iran. << Q - The comparison between Hitler and Ahmadinejad falls down when you realize that the latter is not the highest power within his government. He's a lunatic, certainly. But he doesn't really run things in Iran. There are also no signs that Iran wants to start invading other countries. They hate Israel, specifically, but seem to have no designs on any other nation. - Allen
