Nuclear weapons are an option to protect American soil? Bush talks of Saddam Hussein using "weapons of mass destruction" and he'd consider using such a weapon as OK if he pushes the button!?
This is why Republicans in office is scary. A party that believes "might makes right" should be nowhere near power... it was scary enough when Regan was near the missile launch button. Now we have to worry about a man who may destroy the world without a second thought.
I hope his advisors convince him to forget these thoughts.
