A threat to your Nation exists everywhere, should then your President start
a world war to wipe out anything that could someday cause a tragedy?
If he considers your attitude is a threat to your countries values of peace
and freedom, should Bush nuke your home?
There are people starving to death right now on US territory. The President
is spending billions on the war. Wouldn't you say according to the oath he
took that he should first try to help your own people before starting a war
because Hussein and him don't go along?
