"Even if there's only a 10 percent chance that Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden would cooperate, the question is whether that's an acceptable level of risk," Bayh told me.

What is an acceptable level of risk to them??

I would like to think that it would be zero risk, but I have a feeling I'm gonna be disappointed.

These people see no risk. They see no threat. We all have RAT friends. What do your RAT friends say to you? Mine said to me, back in the 80s, that Reagan was the biggest threat to world peace. And they believed it. Even as Reagan was taking down the Evil Empire.

And today they say the same thing about Bush. And they truly believe it. My only explanation is that there is some weird New England anti-war meme that spreads through the population like a virus. Most of us are immune to it, but some of our fellow citizens are badly infected and remain so for their entire lives.
