Re: [microsound] war

Actually George Bush and the American Industrial Military Complex may
actually be doing 
the Western world a favor in averting a WWIII nuclear apocalypse type
scenario.
Your more likely to have a weapons of mass destruction used if they get into
the wrong 
hands.
Look at what's happening in N. Korea, they could easily start a nuclear
conflict and it speaks
volumes of their system of government.
When it comes to Islamic Fundamentalist, I'd much rather see a proactive
approach instead of
sitting back and later acting on the inevitable.
These people view Western culture as the great evil and know how to
infiltrate the system,
diplomacy only works in their advantage buying time for more terrorist
attacks.
Don't be fooled in thinking Iraq has no biological or Nuclear weapons, they
surely would get 
into the wrong hands if we sat back and did nothing.
It's easier to invade Iraq now then three years from now when they do have
Nuclear weapons.
