By the way I once visited the Washington Navy Yard, where one of the Enterprise’s anchors is on display. � That was a real treat to see.

I was in Seattle last year and looked out onto the Sound and knew that the navy yard was just a few miles across the way. Wish I could have gotten over there.

Um, I was referring to Washington D.C.  I’d love to visit the naval facilities in the Puget Sound area, but the only place on the West Coast where I’ve been is San Diego – which I was lucky enough to visit at the day when the USS Midway crossed over to the pier where she became a museum ship.  I still have the CV-41 baseball cap I picked up as a souvenir.

My apologies, I thought you were talking about Bremerton, WA. I didn’t know that DC had a navy yard, being on a river and all.

lmao,rofl,lol

Wal-mart responded rapidly in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. But not fast enough to stop the looters.

made all other Navis obsolete!

lol me, my brother, and my cousins used to love Army Of Darkness :lol:

I love horror movies though…The Ring was very cool. Also read a lot of Stephen King stuff, and I’ve seen a few of his movies. My fav book of his was probably Misery! One of the few books I’ve read that REALLY had me in suspense. If any of you are King fans and haven’t read this book, I recommend it! :D

As for horror movies though, i own Misery, Children of the Corn, Pet Sematary, IT, the Scream trilogy…(From Dusk til Dawn, The Faculty, Signs) <== not REAL horror movies, but you know what I mean!

And I did like the Blair Witch Project. I was really mad though when I was informed it wasn’t real :x :cry:

I believe the situation could have easily gone on for a matter of years, and we’d still have to use military force eventually. If not with Saddam, it would’ve been against one of his psychotic kids.

I believe, in the wake of 9/11, most people would be MUCH MORE hesitant about giving a guy like that more time to disarm, especially given the 12 years he’s already had. The circumstances and potential consequences are just too great to sit by and watch…HOPING one day he’ll have a dramatic change of mind.

Does anybody deny that the only reason Saddam even “agreed” to inspections was because the US military was parked on his border?

i will agree with that. I’ll also agree that it was costing the US a fortune to park the machine there. Furthermore, i’ll agree that many other nations, particularly Canada and European nations (including Russia) helped speed this conflict along by being sideline wimps. I think that if more pressure had come from the international community much earlier, this war may have been avoided - if only because Bush would have lost his excuses to invade (although the regime change card would likely have still been played). Still, although i have little other than my gut to go on here, i believe that this is not a reason for a bunch of people carrying guns to march into someone else’s country in order to kill a bunch of other people . . . .

All true. I just don’t see how war could’ve been avoided in the end, without letting Saddam Hussein pretty much have his way for an indefinite amount of time.

JMO–a lot of great observations here from the other side as well.
