Frank,
Radio is still young and idiolistic. I don't fault him for that. I was that age as well, thought I knew better regarding every topic. Then as I grew older, the reality of life set in.
Sometimes in life, tough choices must be made.
Ugly, disgusting choices, with dire consequences.
But a choice must be made either way. Doing nothing....but just wishing and hoping for the best, is a failure on our part, in looking after our childrens future.
I see this choice, as OUR defining moment.
Do we let our country be mearly a pawn in the terrorists game..... or make the tough choice, against world opinion, and safe guard our childrens lives, and remove the threat to our freedom?
A tough choice, with brutal consequences.
But one that MUST be made.

bush jr. just feels obliged to clean up daddy's mess and secure interests that should have been taken care of by a sniper some 12 years before. Is this not crystal clear?
This is mercantalism at its finest. But consult history and the example of the British Empire will tell you that this system is faulty.

I will answer both.
Your first question: I have not seen a drastic effort made to remove Saddam, period.
Remember that the Inspectors are there for the WMD. Through the appropriate channels, the UN could have given Saddam the ultimatum to relinquish power, grant him asylum somewhere, because making him a martyr is not what we want either. (The CIA learned this with "el Che" in Bolivia). So no, the correct diplomatic channels and methods have NOT been exhausted.
Secondly, see above answer. Acting on one's own is one thing and I would respect a leader that did what was right though not universally accepted. But the impressive numbers against the US govt. in this war (foreign and domestic)speak volumes about our future isolation in this world.
In brief, DDA, I would answer what every president would answer and yet, at the same time disagree with all. Why? Because you ask me a question that I can never answer, a question designed for no one, a question of man what should only be contestable for a god. I would answer the same if you were to ask me what I would do if I had cancer. The question is impossible to answer. I would never choose to be responsible for a decision of that scope and I hope that you never find yourself in that situation either.

You mentioned to RF that you didn`t think "your stupid". Your stupid what? You probably also think that`s what he believes over their?? Jesus didn`t any of you RW assholes go to school?? Maybe you meant you`re! Follow that simpleton FF`s lead whenever in doubt just say "well Clinton did get a BJ you no". None of you shoud start a battle of wits, for you enter the fray unarmed.
