No, it just means I'm logically trying to get you to read something since it seems you've not been paying much attention to what's happening around you. Perhaps if the words were larger you might pay attention to them and grasp them.

It's logical to assume if the letters are larger than normal, they'll get your attention and you might read them.

I read them just fine, thank you. Just because I don't agree with your opinion doesn't mean that I can't read. And I don't appreciate the "empty head" comment, either. I'm not stupid, I just think you're partially wrong.

A person (or country) is only as independant (or sovereign) as it chooses to be.

If I choose to let my mother run my financial affairs, I have to accept the benefits (less hassle) and consequences (possible mismanagement.) Whether you think she can or should is irrelevant.

Iraq chose to accept the agreement with the United Nations, regardless of sovereignty issues. If they hadn't invaded Kuwait, they wouldn't have been under duress to leave.

Iraq accepted the UN's proposal. Iraq agreed to the terms. Therefore, whether you say it should/could/was forced to is completely irrelevant. They did. Now they have to accept the consequences of that agreement. Regardless of how YOU think it should work, that's how it DID work, and what brought us to this unfortunate position.

I agree we shouldn't be the world cops. I have always had a more isolationist viewpoint. Take care of us first. But we can't be completely isolationist and put our head in the sand.

I believe Saddam's regime did have, (and Al-Qaeda continues to have) a gun pointed at us. And I think it was right to disarm the man holding it in our face.
