WA: I wasn't endorsing a course of action, only providing a counter-point to Woodchip's post. Yes, the extreme left's proposed solutions are ridiculous, but so are those of my neighbors here in redneckland. The answer is, as always, somewhere in the middle. Pandora: I did my best to put London out, ...

That's gotta be one big mortar to reach from there to here. I don't think you're considering every delivery scenario. You think a missile is the only way to deliver a nastygram?

Wouldn't someone, if they wanted to hide a weapon the size of a scud, bury it in such a way that it wouldn't take hours to clean out, especially if needed in a hurry?

If Britain's intelligence agency believed that no WMDs existed in Iraq, why was Britain's military asking questions about Saddam's possible use of WMDs? Were they not informed?
