Even with my 8th grade education I find the logic above to be simply amazing. (sure glad I didn't continue my education)

Who said anything about "veto rights?" We have all the rights to defend ourselves from foreign attack. It does not give us the right to justify an aggressive attack on another sovereign nation on the basis of false intelligence.

Whether some part of the intelligence was wrong or not, even just the superficial aspects of the situation that are a part of the historical record were grounds enough for invasion.

Sounds like the last refuge of a debater who cannot produce a reasoned defence of his viewpoint.

preemptive attack = self defense?

If that were true, poor USA!

If an evil madman is developing WMD, a pre-emptive attack is certainly self-defense. This is obvious just on the face of it.

I know one country that once used nukes. On civilians. Now it is developing new nukes. No international inspectors are allowed in.

I think we should attack.

I know many people who would characterize Bush as an evil madman. But, that's of course just superficial aspects of the situation that are a part of the historical record.

And, that's of course just THEIR opinion.

parked behind a car today that burst into flames. I just parked elsewhere. But thinking about it I should have done something, at least shot the driver.

I think that when a car has the potential to burst into flames the correct pre-emptive action is to set it on fire.

??

I thought the right way was: stuff it with dynamite - make a show about how it has the potential to burst into flames - set it on fire!

Well it wasn't a problem in the end. There was space to park nearby. So all's well that ends well.

The car? Who cares. Heard some sirens later as I drove off.

You definitely have NO agenda to pacify and bring democracy to burning cars, Steve!

Yea, FreeDuck, I second McTag's one-liner post. Wink
Do we have any more "potential bursts of fire" that we can preemptively reduce to smitherines?
