  22.    I'm really annoyed at the self-righteous tone of this thread.
  23.  
  24. C'mon stef -- I'll give you an example.  The US gummint was unwilling
  25. to confront Iraq on it's intransigence until it got so far out of hand
  26. that military action was used.  Get it?
  27.  
  28. Also, I don't believe that I am any less responsible that anybody else
  29. out there.  I've let stuff slide, and yeah there are times when I've
  30. broken my word.  Unfortunate, but true.
  31.  
  32.    Hm... do you think that if I had decided not to post that, it might cause 
  33.    a war someday? 
  34.  
  35. Hardly.
