Anyone else want in on the pot?
More surprised that they admitted to it.

Me too. Doesn't that basically give us carte blanche to go back to war with them?

We made that promise long ago.
It'd be extremely ironic if another bomb were to be dropped on Hiroshima.
"A bomb has been dropped on Hiroshima."
"Yeah. We know."
"I mean again. Like yesterday."
We gotta do something now...
Do you really think that the "axis of evil" would tell us the truth and stick to the rules?
Yeah... riiiiight.
We are all going to die when an asteroid hits the earth anyways. So whats the point?
We will have to somehow learn to live with each other, because in the near future there will not be any country without the power do destroy half the planet. The US is retardedly delusional if they belive that they and their allies will hold a near-monopoly on long range nukes for any period of time.
I think so many people are blowing all of this so out of proportion.
We have our asses covered. We're the United States for god's sake

*sigh* Dubya's probably gonna be invading North Korea instead of Iraq now. I wonder if he can even find North Korea on a map.
At least he would have a legitimate reason to do so. Technically, the U.S. is still at war with North Korea.

I remember getting a newspaper clipping from Spider [A writer. No importance.] which showed a NASA drawing of the design for a toilet to be used under zero gravity conditions in the skylab satellite. (NASA has problems that thee and me can't even guess at.) The cutaway drawing of this engineering marvel showed that there was a rotating blad inside the toilet bowl, to "Seperate the liquid from solid wastes," as NASA's engineers euphemistically put it.
Spider, in his scrawly handwriting, had scribbled across the top of the clipping a brief note, followed by an arrow that pointed unerringly to the bowl and the separator blade. The note said, "Ben: Near as I can figure, the shit is supposed to hit the fan!"
Just something I thought I'd share. [ 10-17-2002: Message edited by: Delphi Aegis ]

Yah, Iraq was safe till now. But now that Dubya might be aiming for someplace else, he might actually invade Iraq by mistake.
"Sir, there's nuclear ICBMs headed at us from all directions..."
"Return the favor."
World ends.
Edit: changed the wording around ICBM to reflect the fact that I know what it stands for. [ 10-17-2002: Message edited by: Kegwen 2.0 ]

Mr. Cookies was naked while typing this:
Just because we're [U.S.] one of the bigger nations of the world doesn't mean we're invulnrable to a ballistic missile fired at us. Even with the technology to shoot missiles down there is still a large chance we will get hit with any thing fired at the U.S..
Well heck, a nuke in New York and a nuke in Los Angeles and the U.S. would become a third-world country overnight.
Which is exactly why I don't think we should be running around the globe making everyone mad at us.
None of the actions of any of the world leaders involved in this mess make sense to me. It's like watching a bunch of mimes play a non-existant board game, and trying to figure out the rules.
My best guess is that they actually WANT to blow everything to kingdom come, and are just playing off of each other as an excuse?
Mort's comment was the least absurd thing I've seen so far. It, at least, had some basis in reality.

Peacemaker I belive was the movie.
Basically...any goverment that has nuclear weapons understands that one weapon launch will pretty much set the whole globe off. Considering also that even with our "reduced" arsenals between us and the Russians we can still scrub the surface of every landmass and a have some to spare. But hey...that is down from scrubbing the globe three times...
So they admitted they have them...it is not like the others on the list don't have them also...must have been real nice of China to translate the docs from English for them... Considering for about 75 grand any of us with the proper contacts could build one also. Pandora box was open a long time ago and there are more countries with them then that are admitting it.
As for a fear of ICBM's, I have this crazy idea that the US instead of sitting around the last 30 years saying you can't defend ageinst them, has probally found a way to counter them, then counter the counters, and counter the counter you needed because you already countered them, you dig? However, somethign like a terroist bombing Has little you can do to defend, and that is scary shit.
If you declare defacto war against the entire world, you are going to lose.
Oh yes, and if you declare war against an ABSTRACT CONCEPT, you need to step down from the position of world leader, and return to school. And listen this time.
