Have you ever thought that the reason foreign steel sells is because it is superior to what we make.I hate to say it but our steel mills put out a lot of junk iron.Ask anybody in the pipe or rolled steel business,american steel sucks.

My guess is that we would rather not go to war with Iraq in mid-September,

We better hurry! Isn't Rum-A-Dum in October?

You're not making a lot of sense re: Saddam. The reason he hasn't invaded anyone for ten years is because his military is dilapidated and we would squash him like a bug, anyway, if he tried.

As for his relative good behavior, I guess you need to keep up better, and/or review what you mean by "good."

these differences [covert, untraceable delivery of WMD instead of missile attacks] make deterrence based on MAD inapplicable, and preemption becomes the only option.

Vice Pres. Cheney made the same point today, on Meet the Press. He spelled out that the attacker in a WMD attack can no longer necessarily be identified. He gave the anthrax letters as an example. And he made it clear that, with this failure of deterrence, preemption might be our only option.

Interesting. Thanks for the reports on MTP.
