1. Is it not true that the reason we did not bomb the Soviet Union at the height of the Cold War was because we knew they could retaliate?

Since this is number 1 on the hit parade, I'll start here. Paul and Hornberger are both incorrect. The answer to number 1 is absolutely NO. The reason we didn't launch on the Soviet Union at the height of the cold war was because we did not have enough provocation to do so. The reason the Soviets didn't launch on America is because they knew we would retaliate.

And this in a nutshell is my problem with Ron Paul and Hornberger, they are not even astute enough to recognise the difference between their own country and the Stalinist USSR.

I wouldn't worry about anyone attacking the source. Clearly, attacking Iraq based on the premises W offers would be a mistake - because the premises are either false or impossible to prove true and, even if true, they would still not justify attacking Bush senior's former ally, Iraq. Not while China, North Korea, Pakistan and other governments are still in business with some, such as China, actually suggesting nuclear attacks on our cities.

Ron Paul's questions need answers and, if anyone disagrees with the answers provided, then they should address the answers, one by one and prove that W is not trying to insult America by assuming we are a bunch of morons, like he did when he announced that illegal immigrants are nothing but an expression of 'family values'.
