The easy answer is 'yes.' Just about anyone can hit anyone is the issue is simply a strike against unsuspecting civilians. They could even kill a lot of people.
However, if the question is, "Can Iraq make launch a militarily effective strike against America?" the answer is 'no.'
Good points! With this kicker . . . if we avoid making the tough decisions because we're watching the shadows -- like the Dim-Dems do by running scared all the time -- then all that happens is the shadows get bigger and bigger. So-Dumb Saddam is gonna do what So-Dumb's gonna do. All we can do is make sure he doesn't live to see it.
If we stand proudly and resolutely for long enough, we'll be the only ones left standing. But we can't take a backwards step . . . we can't appease a tyrant today hoping he'll go away because all that does is leave our children with the same problem -- only it's had time to grow and become even more threatening. Tom Brokaw's The Greatest Generation had the Depression and World War II as their tests.
This is our test. We must face it with the resolve of our forefathers.
Good. Then let's follow what the first President of these United States said. Pull out of NATO, SEATO, the UN, and every other treaty we've entangled ourselves in.
The great rule of conduct for us in regard to foreign nations is, in extending our commercial relations to have with them as little political connection as possible. So far as we have already formed engagements let them be fulfilled with perfect good faith. Here let us stop.--George Washington
Well, too late for that I guess. Might as well muck around as the world's policeman. BTW, has anyone heard how North Korea is doing on those nuclear missiles that can possibly reach the borders of these United States? And Iraq has missiles that go 110 miles? I know there's something in the owner's manual to this nation of states about defending our borders. Oh well, just some old nonsense right?
