SCAREDY CATS & SMOKING GUNS!

January 31, 2004

Peaceniks! Boy talk about back to the future. I had just about erased all those tapes of the sixties, Berkeley, and peace signs. They’re baaaaack! Some things just never change.

One of the strongest arguments against war for the current crop of demonstrators is that they don’t want to make the terrorists mad at us. If we attack Iraq, the terrorists will attack us. Say what? Are we NOT going to fight for our rights because they might hit us back? I mean, are we assuming that the terrorists are pacifists and if we DON’T attack, they won’t attack us? Hello- is anyone at home?

Did I mention this great piece of real estate that I have in Florida?

And what’s this smoking gun stuff? We can’t attack because we have not found one. What do you call the World Trade Center Twin Towers? And what’s wrong with taking the gun out of your enemies hands before they shoot you with it. Oh, yes, that would be “pre-emptive” wouldn’t it.

Next week the world is going to get a preview from Colin Powell as to the real nature of the Iraqi regime. You will hear some tapes, see some film, maybe, “do a little dance” (opps, that’s a song). There will not be an Adlai Stevenson picture of Russian missles. Why? Anthrax, nerve gas, and mustard gas doesn’t film well in a cannister or brief case.

Stay tuned. Next week will be a real hot potato that maybe even the French and Germans will have to join us on. Maybe not, but I’d bet a pretty penny that they’ll jump on board just before the flag is dropped. And if not? C’est la vie- Das ist lebens!
