Subject: RE: BS: Are we at the doorstep of World War III?
It seems to me that if we offer a consistent foreign policy, we might want to take the lead in diminishing our own nuclear bomb potential. It's really hard to selectively ask North Korea or Iraq to disarm when we are unwilling to do so ourselves and supporting India, Pakistan and other countries who are in the nuclear weapons game. A nuclear double standard.

The most sinister aspect of all of this is the hysteria which surrounds this war effort. It is being promoted by the present administration. No one can be rational when in the throes of fear.

Here's a kind of convoluted logic....fly with our airlines but watch out for terrorists. Go to shopping malls and spend money but watch out for bombs. It seems deja vu all over again with the word "terrorist" being substituted for "Red".
