I don't want to threadjack, either, so I'll say just this: I doubt that graduates of Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Dartmouth Stanford, the University of Chicago, Georgetown, etc., etc, are proportionately represented in the Guard. And that's where the children of our Congress and our Executive branch -- as well as the children of CEO's -- tend to end up. If you know differently, UR, let's wait for Daz's conscription thread and talk there.

quote: Other Axis of Evil Wannabes,
by John Cleese
Bitter after being snubbed for membership in the "Axis of
Evil", Libya, China and Syria today announced that they had
formed the "Axis of Just as Evil", which they said would be
more evil than that stupid Iran-Iraq-North Korea axis President
Bush warned of in his State of the Union address.
Axis of Evil members, however, immediately dismissed the new
Axis as having, for starters, a really dumb name. "Right.
They are just as evil.. . in their dreams!" declared North
Korean leader Kim Jong-il. "Everybody knows we're the best
evils . . . best at being evil ...we're the best."
Diplomats from Syria denied they were jealous over being
excluded, although they conceded they did ask if they could
join the Axis of Evil. "They told us it was full," said Syrian
President Bashar al-Assad.
"An axis can't have more than three counties", explained Iraqi
President Saddam Hussein. "This is not my rule, it's
tradition. In World War II you had Germany, Italy, and Japan
in the evil Axis. So, you can only have three, and a secret
handshake. Ours is wickedly cool."
International reaction to Bush's Axis of Evil declaration was
swift, as within minutes, France surrendered.
Elsewhere, peer-conscious nations rushed to gain triumvirate
status in what has become a game of geopolitical chairs. Cuba,
Sudan and Serbia announced that they had formed the "Axis of
Somewhat Evil", forcing Somalia to join with Uganda and Myanmar
in the "Axis of Occasionally Evil", while Bulgaria, Indonesia
and Russia established the "Axis of Not So Much Evil Really as
Just Generally Disagreeable".
With the criteria suddenly expanded and all the desirable clubs
filling up, Sierra Leone, El Salvador, and Rwanda applied to be
called the "Axis of Countries That Aren't the Worst But
Certainly Won't Be Asked to Host the Olympics".
Canada, Mexico and Australia formed the "Axis of Nations That Are
Actually Quite Nice But Secretly Have Some Nasty Thoughts About
America", while Scotland, New Zealand and Spain established the
"Axis of Countries That Want Sheep to Wear Lipstick". "That's not
a threat, really, just something we like to do", said Scottish
Executive First Minister Jack McConnell.
While wondering if the other nations of the world weren't
perhaps making fun of him, a cautious Bush granted approval for
most axis, although he rejected the establishment of the "Axis
of Countries Whose Names End in 'Guay", accusing one of its
members of filing a false application. Officials from
Paraguay, Uruguay, and Chadguay denied the charges.
Israel, meanwhile, insisted it didn't want to join any Axis,
but privately world leaders said that's only because no one
asked them. |

Maybe he went mobile so the police and taxman would miss him.

the "u nuke u die" is no longer true. u could develop a nuke. sell it to terorrists and have them bomb. even if it was linked to you the UN wouldn't nuke u. europe wouldn't. only a republican american president would ever have the balls to nuke someone who was linked to selling the nuclear weapon.
otherwise u'll just be invaded(most likely) in which case u fight guerilla style in long drawn out battles and cause even more of wut u wnt. western casualties.
