Zeev's Turnips Talk Politics (ZTTP)

[Rick Louden]

other nations may from time to time find it convenient to use our own approach with neighbors they may "consider" a future threat

Zeev, I may not be as good at predicting the future as you are judging from your outstanding stock market predictions(g), but I believe the civilized nations of the world have no desire to take unwarranted actions and the uncivilized nations of the world are going to do what they are going to do regardless. That's not to say that the U.S. attack on Iraq won't be used to justify actions by uncivilized nations and terrorists........of course it will. But in reality their actions will take place anyway (unless curbed by fear that the world has the backbone to stand up to them).
