Conversely, you can't say they are. We are just more knowledgeable now. And we have two countries out of the nuclear running. Which is progress.

This is the problem I'm pointing out - you and Sam are both making some arguments that *may* be true, but I have an easily defensible arguement that both Iran and North Korea are now more dangerous than they were in 2000. To answer Sam's question - no matter who's fault it is, it is, and that was the point of my post. So we seem to be down to this: you can't absolutely say that Iran and North Korea are less dangereous than in 2000. Many people, and at least some experts, are saying that they are more dangerous. All of this equals one thing: no definitive progress and maybe a reversal. Further, with out a doubt, our military is unable to deal with an Iraq sized problem were one to pop up in any country. All of that seems like backwards progress. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Sams Teach Yourself Regular Expressions in 10 Minutes by Ben Forta http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=40 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:133489 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
