[stan]

Ed,

you know I love you.

but you're wrong in that I forget little.

if you want to take out Iran, or Iraq or any other anti liberal-democracy 
regimes, I may very well be with you - specially after reading all of Brad's 
arguments - but with one proviso

If you think it is worth going to war over, make it a war.  I think maybe it 
is you who forget that having a war there, while having a party here, has 
already been proven not to work.   Ask presidents Kennedy, Nixon and 
Johnson.  They all tried the bullets and butter thing and it did not work. 
Put the country on a war footing.  Nationalize whatever must be 
nationalized.  Stop sending young people to their death at such low wages 
while fat cats here go on getting unconsciously huge retirement deals and 
yachts so big even they cannot afford to fill their tanks.  If you run short 
of money or gas or materials - ration them.  This is the Only president in 
history who has actually cut taxes during a war.  What a leader.  What a 
military commander.   He know the guys to get rid of like Collin.

You want war - go to war - the right way.  Been there, done that ......and 
it works.
