    Lee I believe I understand the point you hace presented. Now I will ask
    again, just to highlight this situation as reality.

    Question: If America wars against Iraq, what will those individuals and
    governments do to retaliate against the United States? Will this retaliation
    be effective?

    Lee noted:
    <<But my *attitude* towards, say, France or Germany invading
    Bosnia would have been "What affair is it of my country?
    That's in Europe."  To be honest, I felt the same way about
    Russia and Chechnya.  So one other item to put on the table
    is, "Perhaps other nations should mind their own business.
    What happens in Iraq doesn't *directly* concern them.*

    Now I must quickly say that of course, talk is cheap and
    everyone (including other countries, of course) is quite
    entitled to their opinion.  But from the way some sound,
    it's as if they regard the upcoming invasion as taking
    place on their own soil!

    As for "today, yes, it's Iraq, but tomorrow it may be Iceland",
    that is so silly it hardly deserves comment.  I can just see
    ten years of pressure from dozens and dozens of countries,
    innumerable U.N. resolutions, thousands of flights over
    Iceland to figure out just what those scoundrels are up to,
    etc., etc.  ;-)
