I realise there's no point replying to Kevin if he's disappeared but to the rest of you I do hope he isn't doing it cos we've all "ganged up" on him over his belicose stance.

"Ganged up?" Hardly. Though in retrospect it was a bit unfair - you guys needed a few more on your side to make it even. <s>.

The recent news about Iran pushing STAs into Iraq (by the way, what ever happened to that big argument that Islamics would never aid Iraq???) just adds to the list of reasons why we should make Tehran the future answer to a history trivia question.

My blood pressure almost doubled when I heard that Ahmadinejad wanted to lay a wreath at Ground Zero as well - fortunately he was shot down (too bad only figuratively). I already told my family what I'd love to have for Christmas - Ahmadinejad, in a room...ALONE.

Take care Terry - even with the recent disagreements, most of the time I could always count on you as a guy who could separate the wheat from the chaffe...
