The "their" refers to those with the belief system I suggested, not Islam, but a distorted twisted form of the same. -- -- kensmith(a)rahul.net forging knowledge

Somewhere else I suggested that the leaders don't really hold the views. They are after power and control and know how to get the cannon fodder. [...] >I agree, life in Jail would be a better option.

I sometimes think that being very nice to them while they wait to die of old age would be the cruelest thing you could do. "How are you today? I am very sorry that we have to leave you in this 6 by 8 cell for the rest of your life. Goodbye now. See you tomorrow." -- -- kensmith(a)rahul.net forging knowledge

The international community does not want our cooperation. They want the United States to act as their dumb guard dog, do their bidding. Many leaders are generally unhappy with the fact that we finally stepped up to take charge. France is unhappy they are no longer a world power. Muslims are unhappy they are no longer a world power. I would go into greater details but this kind of discussion is better left with with a pint of ale or in a military/political strategy/science newsgroup. Jena

Are you sure the real number isn't 69.372% or 71.054%? I never trust round numbers. I don't see that as an "issue". It is merely a "fact". Iran wants to refine uranium appears to be a "fact". "Why" is the issue. It may just be a bargaining chip. They may want something else and wish to trade refining for it. -- -- kensmith(a)rahul.net forging knowledge
