Thank you for a thoughtful response, albeit we are in disagreement on the issue of our respective perceptions of whether future flexing of US military muscle is in the name of "conquest", OR a matter of pre-emptive self-preservation. You moreless see it as the former; I the latter...

We can no longer stand idly by while evil leaders conspire, support, or hatch the planned destruction of America. It is indeed unfortunate that some rogue States or certain people cannot be, nor will not ever be depended on to yield to a "common sense" to a "common good" in the name of peace. History has proven negotiations with genetically predispostioned warriors have proven futile in the past as well as the present, as well as in the future, and as such must be dealt with in the only manner and language they seem to understand -- an overwhelming armed tour de force and the mettle to use it if necessary.

If that, my friend appears to be our only option, and thus a sad commentary on human nature, that is because, IT IS.

Have we not yet learned from the Neville Chamberlains of the world?

And thank you for your understanding and point of view. I certainly won't cry if and when Sadam gets his.

I said a couple of years ago if there is anything to the new world order and globalist theories then we will see two things in the near future. 1) We'll see America become subdued, a large scale continuous threat will emerge, speaking against the government will become more intollerable, larger and more comprehensive UN treaties like the global tax will be approved, we'll have a weaker economy continuously flirting with recession, and ever more government control of every aspect of life. 2) We will also see the religious fundamentalists of the world become subdued one way or another.

From what I understand a global government is supposed to be, neither a free America nor radical fundamentalists are tollerable. I hope our economy really gets rolling again and Bush walks out on those UN talks. If not I will be more and more concerned as the number of countries we decide to take to task increases. Right now all signs are we will stop with Iraq but it seemed to me until recently we would stop after Afghanistan and the Taliban were dealt with. I don't know if I'm ready to give the theories about global government my full belief but if all my predictions come true I will find it harder and harder not to.
