24. What if Rev. Jim Jones were president of The United States...
Edited on Tue Mar-28-06 12:40 PM by IanDB1
and you handed him the nuclear trigger?

A suicidal war doesn't require you to mobilize the masses anymore.

It just requires a couple of guys in a bunker with a missile who will follow your orders.

All Iran has to do to commit suicide is for one man to give one order to fire one missile.
