The world has become a place where I no longer have to take
responsibility for my own actions. If I decide to smoke and
get lung cancer, I'll sue a tobacco company. If I don't pay
my bills, I'll declare bankruptcy and let everyone else
pay higher rates. If I'm Saddam, I'll thwart the U.N.
inspectors and guess what-at least half the world will
propose that they allow me to pump more oil to appease me.

Sometimes, somebody needs a kick in the ass. But with
victimhood, gripes, lawsuits, and excuses, it's not
politically correct to kick someone in the ass when they
deserve it.

John,

I do not expect an attack on Iraq until after the Olympics. Didn't Bush let those people in northern Iraq get slaughtered right after we kicked Saddam's butt. We encouraged them to rebel, but when it was time to give them aid, we turned our back.
