'In his memoirs, "A World Transformed," written five years ago, George Bush Sr. wrote the following to explain why he didn't go after Saddam Hussein at the end of the Gulf War.
"Trying to eliminate Saddam...would have incurred incalculable human
and political costs. Apprehending him was probably impossible.... We
would have been forced to occupy Baghdad and, in effect, rule Iraq....
There was no viable "exit strategy" we could see, violating another of
our principles. Furthermore, we had been consciously trying to set a
pattern for handling aggression in the post-Cold War world. Going in
and occupying Iraq, thus unilaterally exceeding the United Nations'
mandate, would have destroyed the precedent of international response
to aggression that we hoped to establish. Had we gone the invasion
route, the United States could conceivably still be an occupying power
in a bitterly hostile land."
If only his son could read.'

Renee herself has told you many times. At the right of each message is a link that says "Report a Violation." Simply click that link and you will have the opportunity to choose a reason for reporting the message and explaining why you feel it is inappropriate. If the CM agrees with you that it is a violation of TOS, he/she will take appropriate action.

NOT TRUE!!!! There are Al Qaeda training camps in Iraq, for God's sake! If you're going to take sides on an issue it's best to become informed about them first.

If you had bothered to read the comments Miffy & I made about reporting TOS violations you would know that I have no way of knowing that.
You are such a sweety. How did you ever get to host this board? Never mind, I would prefer to keep our converations to the barest of minimums.

Who is 'we?'
We are the intelligent ones here who know there was no terrorist link in Iraq to the people who attacked our country. This is getting ridiculous. Keep those blinders on, they will protect you from the truth for a while.
