I would not want to see Houston go away, I used to live there in the 80s and my wife is a UH grad....



As far as the other post regarding giving up rights, I NEVER said that I was doing that. I firmly believe in all of the constitutional rights endowed upon us by God (dont get the wrong idea that I am a zealot, I dont even go to church, but what seperates our rights here from other countries is that the rights bestowed upon us are not handed down by the government, but by a higher power, thus ensuring that government cannot legally take them away.).

What I said was I believe that we are doing the right thing by shear logic and am not getting wrapped around the axle by details. For example, we know that Hussien used poison gas against Iran and later against Iraqis. We have satellite intelligence reports that, during the time we petitioned the UN for help in enforcing the resolutions, against Iraq, truck convoys were seen going into Syria. Could they have been carrying WMDs? Hussien was also uncooperative and deceptive. He was a threat, and we didn't even really need to use the WMD argument to go in. Bush SNAFU'd a bit there.

Iraq was a threat, we did the right thing even if your sensibilities are offended by how and why it was done.

I don't quote the papers or networks very often because of the slant they have makes most of their postings unusable.
