Notice by the words I have highlighted above how tentative all these claims are. We are an honorable nation supposedly. Do we attack a sovereign nation just because it MAY have been involved in something or other. I seems to me that before we start a war that could kill hundreds of thousands of men or even millions of men, we need to have conclusive proof, not a lot of may haves. As for you claim that the Saudi's "show a willingness to work with us to at least reduce the terrorism," I would like to see you support that statement. 15 of the 19 who made the suicide attacks were Saudis. Osama bin Laden is Saudi. Supposedly the attacks were motivated by his hatred of US bases on Saudi soil. The Saudis are still granting visas for travel to the USA by way of various travel agencies, not requiring any screening by our embassy there. The Saudis have been financing much of the terrorism in the Middle East. And it is they who have been putting up money for the families of suicide bomber, not Saddam Hussein. I don't know what is going on. None of my information sources are reliable. I don't know of any reliable information sources. But I smell a rat. Something is rotten in Copenhagen. I believe there is a good chance that if we attack Saddam Hussein, we will be attacking the wrong guy. We just cannot go about attacking anyone that MAY have done something we don't like. Before one starts killing hundreds of thousands of people, we need to be dead certain we are hitting the right target. Of course I'm such a crackpot that I don't believe that any Muslim extremists attacked us on 9-11. The Gadianton Robbers set it up, perhaps contracted it out, and they are setting up the Moslems to take the fall. I think Osama bin Laden and the others have been framed. Of course, what do I know? As I already said, I don't have access to reliable sources of information. And I think it is entirely possible that you don't either. What if George W. Bush did it? <heh, heh> John W.
