Let me repeat what I said earlier. Warren Buffett has said that the more America continues to needlessly antagonize the entire Arab world, the higher the probability of New York's or Washington, D.C.'s eventually being nuked, at the cost of $1 trillion and millions of American lives. Israel hasn't had much success fighting terrorism, and its economy is in shambles. As I said, if America wants to destroy itself and follow the same path, no one can really stop them.

Your point, whatever it is, will bite you on the butt with ths kind of argument.

McCain is a vietnam vet too. Your point is?? Maybe your point is that unless you've been in vietnam you can't be wise enough to know what needs to be done and don't have the balls to do it? Do you think it is easy for moral men and women to send others into battle? Maybe we should amend the Constitution so as to limit candidates for the President of the Unites States and his/her advisors to only people who have served in the military? And if we make that declaration....maybe we should limit that office and advisorship to only those who have served in the peace corps or participated in habitat for humanity....or worked in a soup line...or any other silly thing you can think of that would give them credibility with you on topics that you might otherwise disagree with them on?

Nah. Truth be told, Iraq needs to be addressed, as do every other nation that sponsors terrorism. Terrorism must be punished, not rewarded. Anything else is cowardly and will serve to make your children, and their children suffer. That is if there will be anyone left in the future.
