"You can have peace, or you can have freedom, never assume you can have both at any time." -Memoirs of Lazarus Long

It always surprizes me when people demand "Peace at any cost" Having served my country, I've seen exactly how the rest of the world, especially Religious Dicatorships like Iraq, live. Don't get me wrong - I would be very happy if the mideast threat would just go away. But it won't. I for one am not willing to allow a maniac the time or ability to develop and deliver a nuclear weapon to my doorstep before doing something about it. I hope and pray that our leaders continue to pressure the UN for a tough stance against Saddam and his ilk. I'm sorry Twitz, that you are so nieve as to believe that nothing will happen to us if we don't take steps to stop Saddam in his tracks, very and truly sorry for you and all your idealists.
