Egads TIA I hope you're right -about the cannibals I mean! {{:-)}}
No thread on Mudcat is going to start (or prevent) a war with Iraq - of course not! That particular war has been ongoing for all of recorded history - not with Iraq specifically but over the Middle East and it's strategic resources. The names and dates and 'booty' changes, but not much else. Remember the Crusades? Same war, different age imo.
And look at what you wrote in your 2:14 post TIA, if I may quote you: "Also, I don't believe for a moment that Guest gets his or her rocks (oops, hers don't have rocks) off on PICTURING THE COMING CARNAGE". (I'm not yelling, just highlighting the words I'm referring to). You've called it "the coming carnage" already! Pardon me for second-guessing you, but it looks like you've decided the truth about what the future holds.
May you be spared the agony of watching your beliefs become a self-fulfilling prophecy.
