Sensing that you can't fight my reasoning, you do what people like you usually do - create distractions from the argument. I defy you to explain why the scenario I described would not be a very real danger which would easily justify the use of force if diplomatic efforts failed.
The idea of this thread was to provide some whimsical comic relief, which- although admittedly provided by someone whose views are not in lockstep with those who believe in bombing our way to a lasting peace - made it a welcome breath of fresh air to those of us who weary of the stay the course/cut and run merry-go-round.
