What I wrote was ambiguous. Of course you did not se that and only saw the
interpretation that fitted your preconceived notions.

It is the other way around, I educated you.

 MVDV>> It is an objective fact that the greatest stockpile of WMD's is
 MVDV>> in the USA. It is a fact that the US in the only nation in the
 MVDV>> world that has ever used WMD's in a war. And now the US is led
 MVDV>> by a president who has dropped the "no first strike" doctrine.

Of course Saddam Hussein would have said the same had he been the leader of the
country with the largest army.


 MVDV>> Where am I mistaken? The US has the weapons and the US has shown the
 MVDV>> willingness to use them. That is not a belief, that is a fact.

 > Right!

So what more is there to say? They have them and they are the war mongers that
will use them.

Cheers, Michiel
