Musket,
You must think I'm an idiot...I never said anything about physical destruction. Didn't a few well placed planes created havoc economically world wide. WMD comes in many forms...a few packets did a memorable job in the Tokyo subways...
In a paper by the German Health Ministry (one that Herr Schroeder buried during the last election because it didn't conform to his anti-war campaign) the combination of WMD and economic catastrophe is quite obvious:
[quote]Bonn, 9 August 2002
German Health Ministry
[. . .]
The immediate procurement of [funds] for immunization against smallpox is needed immediately for the following reasons:
1. The Risk of an Attack
The international situation as perceived by our intelligence services indicates a heightened increase in the danger [of an attack]. German intelligence services have documented evidence that shows that smallpox is stored illegally outside of the official laboratories in Atlanta and Koltsovo, for example in Russia, Iraq and North Korea. There are also indications that terrorist groups seek to produce biological weapons. Because of the extremely contagious nature of the virus and the mobility of the world population, an attack [with such weapons] anywhere in the world poses an extraordinary danger for Germany as well. Signs of a possible US attack on Iraq are accumulating. It is possible that Iraq may react to such an attack with biological weapons, including smallpox, within its possession.
[Then the report details the possible disaster that could result from a smallpox attack -- up to 25 million German casualties -- and the lack of German preparedness in this area when compared with the US and Israel.][/QUOTE]
25 million casualties in Germany alone.
If it is only 10% of their forecast... 2.5 million, there is a significant economic impact...No?
Tell me, how is the Bush administration playing into his the terrorists hands? How do you propose to defeat them?
What did America ever do? Clinton watched the terrorists for 8 years as they bombed and bombed and bombed. They obviously saw America as weak...and made their attacks more violent. Bush was in office for not even a year when 9-11 occurred. Again, what did America do to deserve this and what would be the result of letting this vermin to multiply, train and seek partners to make their next attacks more violent?
