#1 They'd lose their war and thus 4th e meaning of their lives. No wonder they're furious.

#2 They, the top echelon of policy makers, go to all the same parties and share the same extended friends. It is easy, so very easy to believe in "One World First!" policies because it means that you don't have to be loyal to any local place or organizations -- rather like a cloud of mosquitoes that suck blood wherever it is convenient.

#3 Council on Foreign Relations

Did the inspectors find weapons of mass destruction in Iraq? Feb 3, 2005

Yes--and they destroyed more of them than the U.S.-led coalition did during the Gulf War. Among other things, U.N. inspectors located hundreds of tons of chemical weapons agents and thousands more tons of the chemicals used to make them; a major biological weapons production facility; machines for separating out radioactive isotopes that could be used to fuel a nuclear bomb; and dozens of missiles, launching pads, and missile warheads for both conventional and chemical munitions. Inspectors were stunned by the volume of information and material they found, and surprised that Iraq’s weapons programs were much more advanced than they had expected.

#4 Amazingly, our military is still in Afghanistan, although the Taliban control over half of the country.

Although? I think he's using the wrong conjunction. The word he's looking for is "because".

#5 ^ Poor fella has my sympathies. Damned conjunctions have gotten quite brazen about thwarting my intentions as well. ;-)
