[The Deuce]

Sam-
1. Have you ever planned an assaination? It's a little harder than having a few guys drive into Bagdad and doing a driveby. Besides, that is the goal, and what makes you think special ops isn't going to plan that tonight? He's not an easy guy to find.

2. Australia sent 2,000 troops. Doesn't take the enitre nation to show support. Just send us some of what you've got. A show of good faith.

3. Bush does not want to become a dictator. Is protecting your nations, and by doing so Canada's freedom, dictatorial? Last time I checked dictators were about less freedom, not more. It really is comments like that one that set me off.

4. I told you to bite me, not because you disagreed, but because you implied that we're asking for it. Coniser this, what if someone came into your house and killed your family. You'd go after them right? Now by doing so, are you inviting them to kill your neighbors? No, you're just serving up a nice helping of justice, since the courts are impotent to do anything about it.

5. If (when) innocent people in Iraq die, it will be due to Saddam's refusal to obey international orders. We have told him time and again to cooperate, now we told him to leave. He know's were coming and what we want. That's considerably different than just a suprise attack.

If he would have obeyed the terms set up in '91, NONE of this would be necessary. We are not going in as a conquiring force, but a liberating army. Just like when we remove Hitler.

Sometimes you just have to do what must be done. Such is the case today, and the clock is ticking.
