This kind of thing can go terribly wrong, as the bombing of the American airliner
over Lockerbie, Scotland, killing 270 souls, was probably Colonel Qaddafi's revenge
for the death of his daughter, in Reagan's botched attempt to take out the Libyan
leader.
In any case, what better way to get rid of the only person in the world who
could tell us what happended to Iraq's weapons of mass destruction.
Or better yet, what Iraq intended to do with them. That is the million dollar
question.

the necessity of being good international citizens when their leaders act like
Tony Soprano.
