Yeah I know.  However it is a good example of how selective the label
"terrorist" is being used.

I am not sure about "most" but they certainly are high up on that
list.  I certainly have no desire to go there to vacation or anything of
that nature.

Perhaps.  They said that about Iraq too.  Anyhow the war is still on no
matter what Bush thinks about it.

The oil reserves in Iraq didn't help Saddam did they?  Also they aren't
helping rebuild Iraq as Bush predicted they would.  More smoke and mirrors?

Life is good,
