And now, the real reason:

Contradicting Some U.S. Officials, 3 Scientists Call Anthrax Powder High-Grade

Saudi Arabia is our Enemy bump.

Gotta love the final line in that story:

"But if they have indeed perfected the aerosolization process," Dr. Zelicoff said of the terrorists, "it's strongly suggested they can do large-scale dissemination when they wish."

Still amazing that no intrepid or greedy journalist or publication, eager to make it big time, has gone with a full expose - even just on the possibility and implication of an Iraqi connection to the anthrax.

And can you recall a story, or a Newsweek cover photo (Colin and the vial), less commented on?

No Arab society anywhere has ever manifested the slightest desire for freedom as we understand it.

Are the Kurds Arabs? If so, one has to ignore what's been going on in Iraqi Kurdistan for the last ten years.

But in a broader sense, You have to question the truthfulness of any such generalization. All we really know about the Arbas is that those inclined to political action [an power-wielding] so far have been hostile to the idea.

That doesn't mean it really holds for all Arabs. Iraq might be the best testing ground: it has been largely secular, wealthy, and well-educated. We shall see...

Amazing how he easy over-simplification is, especially when you ignore the demonstrations by those in S.A. who love the West.

And can you recall a story, or a Newsweek cover photo (Colin and the vial), less commented on?

Only the arrest of the author of 9/11 and every major attack on the US since the end of the Gulf War, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed.

Some times, you just don't want to go there. What you might find is too inconvenient, or too distateful.

But the legitimate basis for a war on Iraq is not America's desire to bully the world and spread her empire, with or without the neocons' phony, sanctimonious moralism. It is America's survival.

True, but when you're fighting for survival, you can make good use of sanctimonious moralism. Heck, you embrace it, if it'll help.

But the people engaging in the sanctimony aren't thinking about survival, they're thinking about world conquest.
