[plug] [OT] Goodbye, Columbia

[Jon Miller]

Nah, the others are just followers of Big George, they are just
following the "big guy".  I do however like your solution, but I would
like to see them in the same cell with something a little harder (like a
couple of St Louis Sluggers).  Pillow fights just don't seem fit enough
for them.
Personally when Bush was declared the winner in the election, I knew
there was going to be trouble.  Never in the history of America have we
ever had to have a recount for Presidency and never one where the votes
were that close.  Someone paid to have him in and that was a major
bother to a lot of folks back home.  Only thing he has done since taking
office is have this h__d-o_ for Saddam, he has let the country take a
dive in order to satisfy his thirst for blood.  Granted the 911 diaster
was bad and like always folks have started to put their lives back in
order as you do in a situation like that.  It does not take an act of
war to put the leaders of terrorist outfits in graves.  A simple $0.17
bullet can do the trick if you want it done quick.  He wants this war
because he needs to get his ratings up, and get the existing economic
situation on an upswing.
Never fails in the history of the US that wars brings the economy back
up.
It's sad to think that so many folks will be affected by this if it
should take place and for what? Greed....

With the technology the US possess maybe they do know something we don't.  But if I was Saddam, I would put my bombs and missiles very close to the my oil reserves and if the US launches an attack they would only be destroying the very thing they may be after.  Do you think the US would launch its attack?
> > In the US a person with a gun is not considered dangerous until he commits an act of violence, well a person in possession of nuclear bombs should be considered the same.  So if the US think Saddam shouldn't have the bombs, then the US needs to rid itself also of it's bombs.  I've always hated the US ideology that they (US) are better than the rest and what they say is one thing from what they do.
