    Ron, please explain exactly what the 'group' (henceforth the group 'that
    approved of the war with Iraq') was 'right' about. Nuclear weapons? No.
    Other WMD? No. Saddam's links to 9/11? No.

    Please let us know exactly how the 'group' defines the U.S. 'under
    attack' from Iraq.

    Ron, a good percentage of my income was coerced from me to build JDAMs
    which (despite commendable efforts to avoid such) killed innocent
    children in Iraq, a country with which everyone agrees the war was
    'optional'. Please clarify if this means you priviledge the state over
    individuals (thus being a collectivist), or how you would otherwise
    explain this being consistent with extropian and/or libertarian
    principals that speak of self-ownership and self-determination.

    Thanks,
            -Mike
