Well thanks McGrath, Mark, Amos and especially to Little Hawk, for coming out with dealing with the roots of the problems rather than symptoms.

WhenI started this thread a lot of folks said, "Yeah, it's just ol' Bobert stirrin' up something" but as the thread is deveoloping, I think we are al seeing that in a time when "inspections" and "interpretations" may take a front seat to Bush's burning desire for war... it is indeed a serious question and one that needs some level of attention now, rather than when Bush is planning an attack over a *misinterpretation*.

And really, Little Hawk, I appreciate your world view. And it is do-able. When you think we're gonna spend over a *billion* dollars a day for waring with folks, we could sure do a lot of good for folks around the world with the same money, Heck, alot less for that matter. And then we would be investing in a securer future for mankind. Sure, some of Bush's folks are gonna have to *retool* toward industries that promote peace and add to the *quality* of life, but, hey. It;s long overdue for these folks to get off their asses, roll up their sleeves and get with making the planet a safer place to live...

Peace

Bobert
