You guys are too young to remember how we got to be the most powerful country in the free world. We got it by standing up for what we believe in and helping out the little guys. The results aren't always the best forcast. Look at Vietnam, for instance. But at least we were willing to take a stand. I didn't vote for Bush, but I'll have to admit, it's finally nice to see a president with guts for a change. It's been too long without one. Although, I still think old George Senior is running more of it than will ever be admitted.
I think we ought to go over to Iraq and finish the job once and for all. There should never be an "if" he has the weapons. We know he does, or at least the capability and hatred enough to use them. I don't want another September 11th to look back on. And I don't know much about Tony Blair, but I like him. He's not afraid to take a stand either. You will never miss the freedom you have now until you lose it. Then there will be a lot of tune changing about all of this going on now. Better to forge ahead and keep our way of life than to let some grease spot take it away from you. Libya was our Iraq in the old days. Once we straightened out Qaddafi (or however you spell it) he backed off. He was just as dangerous to us then as Saddam is to us now.
That's just my 3 1/2 cents worth.
