I believe the connection between Iraq and North Korea is the sale of
missiles or parts for them. Iran was brought back into the mix when the
Israelis found that ship full of weapons going to Gaza. The NSA traced it
from Iran with sattelite photos. It seems a pretty tenuous axis to me. I
don't know where George W. thinks he's going with this crusade, but one way
or another he's going to end up with egg all over his face.
Maybe George thinks he can use this WTC incident to rid the world of all his
real or imagined enemies. I hate to contemplate where that kind of thinking
will lead. It's a good way to divide the world into warring camps and bring
on a major war. It reminds me of my days in the Air Force when we were
"fighting for peace." At night we would go into town and fuck for
virginity. I remember losing that war and I can't recall producing a single
virgin.
