OT Chuzzlewit you wrote : "So what to do short of military action when diplomacy simply doesn't work? Should the world simply turn away and say let the people in the region work it out by whatever means they have at hand? Are we then not tacit accomplices through inaction? Isn't that exactly what the world did in the 1930's allowing the rise of the most monstrous evil in recorded history? " Chuzzlewit, why is using military might more acceptable than funneling money to opposition groups to take care of their problems...? more than 7 years has passed, and nothing was done in that direction... to the contrary, opposition groups have been let down by the administration here on more than one occasion... and left to suffer the consequences... from a purely pragmatic point of view, each cruise missile is about one million dollars... only last night, 200 were fired... not taking into account what no one on earth can put a value on... the risk of loss of human life... now let me ask you this, how many cruise missiles have been fired on Iraq on all the different occasions...? and how much does that add up to...? am I to believe that the administration can not spend a fraction of that money and funnel it to opposition groups...! why hasn't this happened...? do you ever wonder why...? have you ever thought that because it does not serve a purpose in the master plan of things... do you know why, because it's a buffer zone between Iran and Saudi Arabia... unless of course Iraq is divided into yet three more smaller countries... which the Arab league warned against during president Bush's term... and the charade continues... best regards amein
