There ARE folks in the world that would be glad to raise "a mushroom cloud" over us, and even though it would not be easy for them, we should explore the options and be vigilant.....but criminy...NOTHING I have seen leads me to think that Iraq ever came close! Libya was closer! The Iraqi scientists that KNEW agree that all they had was some rudimentry research. We have been monitoring Iraq relentlessly for 10 years, and we still couldn't find any serious weapons. (A few rockets that were 'technically' a bit too powerful, and that 'might' have threatened Israel...if...and if....)

I guess people will believe what they want to believe....there are those who still will deny the Holocaust ever happened (it must have been fun faking those B&W movies!)

ah, well....maybe I'll start an internet 'news'paper that claims that all Pistaschios imported from Iran have been dusted with anthrax....want to bet I can have a panic within a week?
