Jamo,
I'll note that Iraq didn't even try. Hussein had been a really minor 'threat' for a few decades, and nothing ever came of it. Iraq was an annoyance.
Pre-emptive strikes on nations that look cross-eyed at us is a stupid policy that will ultimately cause our demise. It is also the ultimate in paranoia. Oh, and it's against the law. The lesson that other nations will learn from this is that if you don't have nukes you run the risk of invasion. If you do have nukes (as NK does) we will treat you quite a bit better.
CdC,
Amazingly enough, it is not just me on one side. I just happen to be one of the most vocal and tenacious. I enjoy a good argument. I just wish that more of you would actually make arguments instead of trying to get me to join Prius clubs. To me, that sounds like your argument just does not hold up under scrutiny.
I would be fine with eliminating the politics and religion in the lounge entirely. I used to only post things regarding Cobra history. I think even Jamo might be willing to acknowledge that I have more than a passing interest in Cobra (and other race car) history.
