Carol: as Herodotus observed, the Iranians(the next targets for Bush by all accounts) discussed all serious matters first when drunk, and then reconsidered their decisions the following day when sober. If they inadvertently took a decision after a first discussion when sober, they postponed acting on it till they had had an opportunity to rethink it when drunk that night.
What think ye?
    But come on, tell me why I am wrong. I'm afraid I am not drunk at the moment, just the old problem kicking in.
