"And I've always said, be afraid of the man who *says* he has God on his side."

Well that's just ignorance. Gen. George S Patton felt he had God on his side as did many other Americans leaders throughout history.

"Maybe. But you have to accept that there's at least the possiblity that he wouldn't."

Conversely he has to accept that there is a possibility he will give NBC weapons to terorrists that will use them against the US. Better safe than sorry right? Or would he prefer more dead Americans before action is taken (not to mention dead Iraqis).

"Am I right in being afraid of this? I don't know."

There's a war on. A war on terror. WHat are we to do? Cower in the corner and hope the terrorists will just decide to play nice? Doesn't seem to smart to me. We can't let possible future actions of the enemy deter us from the mission - defeat Islamic terrorism or any terrorism for that matter. Iraq is not a "sacred Arab territory". In addition, there are Arrab countries that support the removal of Saddam Hussein.

But hey I could be wrong. FReegards.

I basically wrote the same thing about the fear.

Faith doesn’t preclude common sense and inside information not given to those who’d blab and demagogue for political reasons our nation’s security. I have faith in someone who knows right from wrong…a long lost attribute of our leaders in recent history.
