- I heard a report on the news this morning that US planes have shot down
- an Iraqi fighter in the designated no fly zone. Can someone enlighten
- me on how the no-fly zone came about? Was it a UN resolution or a
- condition imposed by the coalition at the end of the war? I think it
- makes a difference when considering your legal position in such a
- matter.

- The Iraqi's have vowed to retaliate. Will we see US troops in action
- in two spots soon? It seems that the only possible avenue for the Iraqi's
- to take would be terrorist attack. I wonder if they have purchased any
- submarines from the former soviet union? Subs would go a long way toward
- reducing the air superiority edge but we could still launch long range
- attacks.
