My the heat is on.  Fortunately net.religion has about as much usefullness
as net.flame.  Actually I occasionally pick up something useful reading
net.flame, the same cannot be said of this group.  I seldom get this
far with my sequencer, but with the NCAA absorbing most of the RF band-
width available in Illinois, the lousy weather and the cost of new brake
shoes, I have descended to reading this file.

The comment that the remote possibility of making atomic explosives was
reason enough to bomb the reactor is ludicrous.  Sure you can make
plutonium with the reactor sold to the Iraqis.  Processing it is quite
another story and very difficult with international inspection.  Iraq
HAS signed the non-proliferation treaty.  Renouncing the treaty MIGHT
be cause for bombing, however bombs cannot be made overnight.

The Israeli rationale for invasion was tenuous at best, self-defeating
at worse.  They're now reaping the worst possible outcome.  With an indexed
inflation system running at 150% a year coupled with an estimated 2 billion
dollar cost to the invasion, the Israelis stand a good chance of bankrupting
themselves.  What's infuriating is that the US not only bankrolls its
own intervention (currently Central America) but that of a client state
as well.  Anyone recall that weapons sold to Israel are for "defensive"
purposes only?  We should drop the bullshit and let them pay cash w.o.
giving the money to them first.
