I’m not sure what I think about Pakistan providing nukes to Saudi Arabia, other than that I can’t be sure if the article is even accurate. One anonymous source is a thin reed.

You could claim that this is the result of recent Israeli saber-rattling, but really, it’s not. It’d be more accurate to claim that a nuclear Israel will inevitably encourage other Middle Eastern countries to get the bomb.

And, of course, a US-occupied Iraq changes the balance of power in the Middle East. This sort of thing is an inevitable consequence. It’s not clear that it’s an unacceptable consequence; Saudi Arabia with nukes is hardly the end of the world. But this move certainly shouldn’t be unexpected.

Can we invade Saudi Arabia now?

Probably not - we'll be overextended as it is, now that we have to depose the Sharon government in order to get it to comply with UN resolutions.

I really have to remember that not everyone knows my particular take on the idea of humor.

[kodi]

Sorry.

I thought I understood; really I did.

I'll try harder, next time, but maybe if you're feeling generous you can explain this one to me?

[bryant]

The dangers of dry humor.

For future reference: Jere, Chris; Chris, Jere. You guys are both about equally dry.

I thought cdk was on exactly the same wavelength as you.

What about the poor people in Zimbabwe who are being systematically abused and disenfranchised by their brutal leader? Can we bring them some American freedom, too?

Only after Zimbabwe gets oil and some Haliburton contracts.

Or at least the potential for same.
