If you think that the entire middle-east should be subjected to our laws, however, then it's only fair that they also be allowed to vote in our elections. Somehow I doubt that most Bush supporters would want that.
Riiight. I'm not talking about making them subject to our laws. I'm talking about them suddenly experiencing some technical difficulties -- through no fault of ours of course. Bombs and ECM devices have to be deployed by planes, and nobody saw or heard our planes anywhere nearby. Not a blip on the radar screen. [img]graemlins/heee.gif[/img]
