Okay, Reg, I've heard enough rant but no solutions from you.  What is your answer to the current situation?  I've listened as you talk about your soldier friend who sounds like he'd be better suited for the Peace Corps than the military.  I've listened as you lay the blame for the current situation at the feet of America.  It's all our fault and apparently we deserve whatever it is we get, including 9/11.  You believe that Iraq is no threat to us...wow, that's comforting.  Reg says Iraq is no threat so I'm not gonna worry...I feel better already! 

I haven't heard anyone laying the blame for the world's woes at America's feet, most of what Reg has talked about is that there is more going on to the current situation then the poorly worded and even poorly spoken jingoistic soundbites uttered by our President 

Let's hope you're right Reg and that saddam is dabbling with chemical weapons because it's his hobby.  I for one have heard enough lately and I've decided that I'd rather not wait around until it's too late to find out what his intentions are. 

So are we going after everybody dabbling in chemicals whether there is an actual threat. No one has supported doing nothing unless we are attacked. Most of us have said thereneeds to be a credible threat and we believe this has not been shown in the case of Iraq, maybe N. Korea or China. If there is a credible threat of an Iraqi attack on America or our allies,let's go in guns blazing

We could take Clinton's approach and put our collective heads in the sand but I have a feeling some folks in New York City might be a bit upset with that approach as we see where it left them.  I know, I know, it wasn't Saddam who bombed NYC and DC.  Do you think Saddam is any less evil, less motivated or less able than Bin Laden? 

Clinton did not stick his head in the sand we've been bombing and reconnoitering Iraq non-stop since the Gulf war, hence the accepted fact that Iraq's military capabilities are a shell of their Gulf War levels and he was barely a threat then, but not enough of one for Bush I to finish him off. Now he is? They're evil, have we got rid of Bin Laden, what about all the other two-bit dicators throughout the world, is it your position that we will nowe systemically conquer their countries as well?

Bin Laden, Saddam and the like exist because fools allow them to.  I'm not saying you're unpatriotic...I just think you're a fool.

Bin Laden, Saddam and the like exist because fools create, train, supply them with money and weapons, and support them as long as they suit our interests, you know, fools like Bush I and the numerous other American leaders (democrat and republican alike, who prop up evil dictators when it suits our interests time and time again!)
