wordy , verbage . garbage . inescapable fact is someone out there wants you dead unless ( and hell , might kill you anyway ) you agree with them . no time for discussion or the rights and wrongs of political persausion ( meantime your dead) and your opinion means nothing in the present . its harsh ( i know) but thats what the future implies unless action is taken against it. if that might be pre-emptive then fine . all western intelligence has been called into question over the iraq war but really ( nearly all ( all!) western countries saw iraq as a major threat and thought they had and were devolping nuclear /bio and chemical weapons. we belittle our own governments knowledge when we think that this war was unreasonable and unjustified ( absolutely justified in my own opinion)
