"Steven P. McNicoll" wrote in message ink.net... "devil" wrote in message news In recent history, fiscal irresponsibility, profligatr spending and tax cuts paid out of deficit financing have been the hallmark of Republicans. From Reagan to Bush II. Tax cuts are not "paid", they generate revenue. I disagree. They are paid out of deficit financing in the sense that the money that they have returned to the taxpayer gets spent anyway even though the government no longer has it by means of bank borrowings. In all, that is what is called deficit financing, and is what the Republicans used to deplore when they didn't have control of the government. It was a terrible political sin when the Democrats were doing it, but is now palatable since the Republicans are the ones doing it. When you get right down to it, "tax and spend" which Republicans used to deride, is a lot less fiscally irresponsible than "borrow and spend", which merely shifts the repayment burden to future generations, who weren't even around when the spending decisions were made.

Bush, on numerous occasions, said that these weapons threatened our national security. Jarg |

FYI, a ballistic missile is not a WMD all by its lonesome. How do you know that there was no weapons payload? Even if there was no payload, what are the Yemenese using them for? Garden planters? A year later are they still just delivery vehicles, or do you think they are fully armed WMD's? Is the region better off with Yemen having them? Is Israel better off? |

most here seem to forget that had it not been for Sodomy's incursion into Kuwait, he would still be in power and fully capable of gassing his own people and oppressing them AT WILL (no particular reason would have made it _possible_ to render him and his cronies "ineffective" - INTERNAL activities are a matter of national sovereignty). But then, why stop there? How did he get in there? Who was behind the coup that put him in power? (Who was his predecessor, Kassem or something like that?) Might as well go back to the partition of the Ottoman empire. good old British philosophy of divide and conquer. Which left a mess behind most everywhere, India/Pakistan, South Africa, Ireland. Bottom line remains that the place is just too much of a mess to get involved. |
