Tom,

I am well aware of where Vietnam is, and yes crossing the Pacific Ocean 
would be quicker to get to the United States, but not to Washington DC. I 
would imagine that attacking the Capitol would be more effective then 
attacking Hollywood, but what do I know about military tactics maybe you are 
right. If Hollywood was attacked by a country halfway around the world the 
citizens of America might join in and assist in the bringing down of the 
oppressive immoral Hollywood celebrities that control our country.

I disagree that it is solely the brutality of Saddam that has held him in 
power for nearly 25 years. He does have people that are very loyal to him, 
and has greater support in the world court of opinion then Bush has. I do 
not regard the 10,000 murders of Saddam any less or more then the 10,000 
murders of Bush Sr.
I have high respect for the Discovery Channel, however, I don't think you 
can get all the history of BUsh Sr. and Saddam in a two hour TV show, and I 
hope you are basing your information on more then a nicely packaged TV show 
made for entertainment. Try the Library and Public Radio, and research on 
your own rather then being spoon fed by a box sitting on a self in your 
living room. Peace.

Donovan Arnold
