[President Thomas Jefferson said: "it will be a subject for consideration whether, on satisfactory evidence that any tribe means to strike us, we shall not anticipate by giving them the first blow". So, do you agree with our Founder, and just want what you consider "satisfactory evidnce"?]

Ouch!!!Next time please use extra gel!!!

Wasn't trying to be mean.

The important point is "What is 'satisfactory evidnce'?

The author dances around this- and purposely ignores the assassination attempt on President Bush- refusing to offer any standard.

Opponents say there is not 'satisfactory evidence' but run and hide from a discussion on the standard that should be applied- though that is all that is at issue.
