<<Sorry Kai,
       When the US was a 3rd world country nobody much cared that we called
ourselves America.  It was only when we became a 1st world country that you
discovered we were unworthy.  But then the news is out that 80 of your
companies are trading with Sadaam so you accuse us to cover yourself.
       Anyway, it is good to hear from a friend of Sadaam and Osama, thanks
for writing.  At least we now know where your preferences lay -- with the
totalitarians and oppressors.

Yeah, I had wondered about that in his posts. So the USA should be good
liitle victims and ignore 9-11? Lets just let the Islamic miltants arm, and
strike the US at leisure. OK. We can't upset our beloved international
allies, uhuh. Well, in the zero-sum game of victimizer and victims, I opt for
the role of victimizer. Or as Robert Heinlein's Lazarus Long said: Its easier
being a live lion then a dead duck, and far easier. Lets also ask the
question, which our enemies might agree with us: Why does the USA still have
troops in rich Europe? Can't these people defend themselves? Should we
"defend" them from the new Russia? Will they turn on each other, when we
leave. Ah well, they are all friends, with the dual national thing perhaps
comming into view. This should be interesting.
