OT: Question for the Americans



Ok. My 0.02.
I worked with the Minute Man Missile, 10 bombs carried by an intelligent=20
delivery system. ANY WMD's are too many and a threat to the world as a=20
whole.
Bush is an idiot. I do believe that he is coving the facts that he is=20
incompetant, (massive bakrupsy's, low employment etc) by creating out sid=
e=20
problems.
Sadam is a problem, but should be dealt with on a global basis. Not the U=
S=20
bullying the UN to get its way. (Any one remeber the US being thrown off =
the=20
UN human rights committee?).
