He's made it pretty clear that when he develops the ability to launch nukes
our way, he will. So, are you proposing that we sit around and wait for some
nukes to fall on our heads?
Oh, and for the record, no, i don't fully agree with the dropping of the
bombs on Japan.

Realize something here.
WWII is OVER. It is DONE. Very few people left in the USA today had
ANYTHING to do with it, let alone were alive at the time. It's closing in
on 60 YEARS ago. It makes a rather poor comparison, in my opinion. The NY
attack wasn't even truly prompted, unless you subscribe to OBL's line of
thinking. The nuclear attacks weren't unprovoked; Pearl Harbor and a little
thing called three years of WWII helped get that. Something tells me from
the raw statistics of those who actually use computers and play video
games - hence get into stuff like RAS - that there's an extremely small
number of people on this NG who were even alive at the time. Even assuming
they were just old enough to be in the military, 18, in 1945, that puts them
at a birth year of 1927. That makes anyone that age 74 today.
I'm not saying it was a particularly great decision to use nuclear weapons.
But really, it was either that, or another long, drawn-out ground war.
That's how I see it.
Osama is making it very clear that if he ever gets the chance, he'll turn
that 'harsh afghan winter' into nuclear winter for the rest of us. This is
here, this is now, this is -not- done. We know of a threat, and if the
government isn't doing everything it can - within reason, mind you, since if
it was doing absolutely everything it could, Afghanistan would be the
world's largest source of glass by now - to hunt that bigoted freak of
nature down, well, I'd be quite pissed.

I agree - it also depends on whether the populace are taught to
think for themselves or whether they are taught "policy".
As for shagging sheep - that's New Zealand, in Australia we
shag english tourists cos they are are easier to find and don't
keep you up all night bleating after sex.

Surely if the US was more aware of world affairs, they *would* be
minding their own business? You can definately be aware of something
without trying to exert your own influence on it.
