Logically every country on earth fits into one of two categories: either they pose an imminent threat, in which case we should attack them or they do not pose an imminent threat, in which case you argue that we should attack them before they become an imminent threat.<BR/><BR/>Now you want to add an additional criteria: hostility. So, all it takes is a little "hostility" and weapons of mass destruction and then we get to attack?<BR/><BR/>Okay, who's first?<BR/><BR/>How about Russia? China? North Korea? What about the French? Surely the French have it coming, do they not?<BR/><BR/>What about Belarus? Bush says they are the last dictatorship in Europe and they've got WMD.<BR/><BR/>Come on, how about Venezuala? Venezuala is talking with Belarus about forming an anti-American coalition; clearly Venezuala is also becoming sort of an imminent threat, don't ya think? When do we start bombing?Staffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05854346077884974868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10559060.post-1154376505006954542006-07-31T16:08:00.001-04:002006-07-31T16:08:00.001-04:00J.C., I didn't make the argument, though I find it...J.C., I didn't make the argument, though I find it a compelling one, WHEN WMDs are coupled with hostility to the United States (which, of course, renders your comment about the UK nonsense). The "argument" made here is that the far Left continues to misrepresent the facts to sustain its lunacy. I note that you don't bother to address it.James Younghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15983017193858666436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10559060.post-1154375126322546692006-07-31T15:45:00.000-04:002006-07-31T15:45:00.000-04:00Your argument makes no sense.

The idea that we should attack other countries before they become imminent threats becomes a justification for attacking anyone.<BR/><BR/>What will you suggest next, an invasion of the United Kingdom? Sure, they're not an imminent threat, but they've got weapons of mass destruction. Better take'em out.Staffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05854346077884974868noreply@blogger.com
