This Administrations Biggest Mistake
By David Ames

In watching the events that have unfolded over the past several months one thing has become abundantly clear to me. In
attacking Iraq, President Bush and his administration, have sent out a terrifying message. This being that if you do not
possess weapons of mass destruction your country will be bombed, invaded and occupied, yet if you positively have WMD's
you'll most likely only receive a stern wag of this administrations collective finger. Iran and North Korea have been all but
rubbing Bush's nose in the fact that they not only have WMD's but are testing ways to launch these devices at other countries.
The present administrations restraint and diplomacy tactics they have adopted have made the U.S. look positively impotent after
the ultra-hawkish preemptive attack on Iraq whom, by the way, presented no danger to anyone. So in employing this present
stance of non-action toward Iran and North Korea we have sent the undeniable message to all rogue governments that if you
don't have WMD's, your going to get blow'ed up real good, but if you do happen to have them... Well, let's do lunch.
