>If I'm standing down the street from your house, and I yell out, "I'm going to kill you", yet
>I'm standing there empty handed, you cannot pull out a gun & shoot me because I threatened you.
You threaten me and mine, I will take you seriously. At a minimum, I will call the police.
>There was no imminent threat to the US from Iraq. Talk and threats don't equal action.
Comparing individuals to nations isn't valid. The situations are totally different. And if we are talking about WMD's I'd just as soon not wait around for a threat to become imminent, thank you very much.
