A Reuters Story today reports that China, Iran and the U.S. are the world's top executioners according to Amnesty International. Sorta makes ya proud don't it?

We gotta be among the best at everything, right? Arms, executions, polluting devices, political intimidation.... -- solid gold medalists in all events!

Yep. They're learning so well:

"Fernandes said he endorsed Foreign Minister Yashwant Sinha's recent comments that India had "a much better case to go for pre-emptive action against Pakistan than the United States has in Iraq (news - web sites)."

"Sinha also argued that Pakistan was "a fit case" for US military action, because it had weapons of mass destruction and terrorists. "

Aren't we proud!

No, no, no. WE are the only ones who get to preempt. Cheesus people, don't you get the rules?

Old Bushface sure opened a can of worms when he bought Mz Rice's argument that we had to change that time-honored policy and embrace pre-emptive action. Once you start making time open-ended like that, you're on a slippery slope with one foot in your mouth!

Looks like you better dust off your bomb shelter Doug! Fending off attacks from countries who have decided they need to "pre-empt" us could be a full-time job!

It's amazing to me that we can police the world like this and not think it will come back to bite us in the ass...have we forgotten 9-11 so soon? Is going after anyone who says "boo" the answer to stopping terrorism? I kinda think not.

Surprise -- the newest member of the A of E may be Alabama. Just found this on ABCNEWS.com while I was looking for Venita Cravens (of all things):

"Islamic Militant Training Camp Allegedly Operating in Alabama--
An investigation by Britain's Scotland Yard led to the discovery of the camp in Marion, Ala. The facility is called "Ground Zero USA." ..and so on.

Doug:

If antiwar protesters are going to have a full time job, ahhh, then doesn't that mean that your team is not doing a good on making the planet safer? I would think that if that's the case, you might get the itch to join us, unless, of course, the aim is not to make the planet safer but to insure the profits of the military industrialist.

(Hmmmmmmm? Ol' Bobert sure would like a sneek peek into Dougie's stock port folio? Might explain some of his obvious inconsistencies? Hmmmmmm?)

BTW, if the US is going to get the nod into the "Axis*, just how is it going to attack itself without the obvious "conflict of interest" issues. Man, this ain't gonna be too purdy. And what states will go first? Hmmmmm? Well, can't take out D.C. cause the Pentagon is there. I'd bet on Los Angelos, with Holywood, as being in the top five. Chicago because they vote Democratic. The entire northwest c ause they're a buch of Volvo driving commies. After that, the choices get tougher... Hmmmmmmm?

Well, they could take out Florida, 'cuz it's too ambiguous and harbors evidence of mass deception. They'd have to airlift the Jeb familial cases out privately first, though -- well it worked for clan Bin Laden....
