Sorry, but there's no reason to take any of your political posts seriously. By your own admission, you try hard to go over the top on these. I'm serious in what I said. Iran is using the World's diplomatic pussyfooting in order to buy more time in developing nukes that can fit on a Shahab-5 warhead that can reach the Eastern US. I'll reserve comment as to what the proper US response should be...lest you think that I'm "trying hard to go over the top". |

I'll reserve comment as to what the proper US response should be...lest you think that I'm "trying hard to go over the top". What is a Shahab-5? The Shahab-5 is a multiple stage fuel rocket claimed as an intermediate-range missile. The missile is believed to be based on the North Korean Taep'o-Dong 1 and Taep'o-Dong 2. As a result of its likely inaccuracy, the missile's utility is probably restricted to attacking population centers or spreading radiation rather than hitting military targets. The missile is thus probably more of a blackmail or terrorist weapon than a military asset. The Shahab-5 is still in development and is not slated to enter service in Iran until about 2005. There is little concrete information regarding its capabilities, other than that it will likely consist of two or three liquid/solid propellant stages. The integration of technology from the North Korean Taep'o Dong 2 missile into the Shahab-5 represents a substantial security concern for the United States. The Shahab-5 represents a significant technological leap for a rogue state, and is a stepping stone to the development of an ICBM. Effectively doubling the strike capacity of Iran, even as it continues its nuclear weapons program, places most of Europe, Russia and Asia within range. The United Kingdom, a staunch ally of the United States, is completely vulnerable to an attack, as are a number of key US allies. The development of a nuclear warhead for the Shahab-5 and Shahab-6 will undermine the ability of the United States to operate in the region and give Iran considerable political leverage. The potential of the transfer of this technology to other rogue states or terrorist groups is also substantial. Iran's military is known to support terrorist groups and the Iranian government has little control of its own missile force. The Shahab-5 has the shorter range of the new class of long range missiles being produced by Iran in conjunction with North Korea. Like the Shabab-6, the Shahab-5 owes most of its technology to the North Korean Taep'o-Dong 2, which in turn is largely derived from technology from the People's Republic of China. Why do you expect it to have greater than a 7x improvement on range over the Shahab-3? Because it's based on multiple-stage technology from North Korea that has already been deemed capable of striking the US West Coast. http://www.command-post.org/nk/2_archives/014415.html As for Iran developing nuclear potential, I agree that it's ridiculous. They're sitting on the world's largest supply of oil, they don't need nuclear power. What's the nost practical way of preventing it? A full aerial assault on every known or suspected nuclear production facility within Iran. |

It is 6,000 miles from Iran to the closest point of the U.S. You know why they call it rocket science? Lemme 'splain it to you in simple words... the Iranians are not going to improve their rockets that much any time soon... think decades. Now, let's talk about a realistic threat scenario instead... smuggling a dirty bomb (conventional explosives packed into nuclear material) into the U.S. and setting it off. But hey, you know, that would be really tricky to defend against, so I can see why the Bushies want to chase pie in the sky boogey men instead. DSK |

Fact- a scary scary web page about Chinese missiles does not prove that the Iranians will have one within our lifetimes. China is selling them the technology. If that is the case, then once again I ask you, why hasn't the Idiot Known As Bush invaded Chine? Here's your answer: We'd get our asses whipped. Again. I have no doubt that we'd win a conflict with *any* country in the World. However, our casualty rate in a war against a country like China would be in the hundreds of thousands. With casualties that high, our leaders would most likely employ nukes...raising the death toll on each side into the tens of millions ( in China's case, probably into the hundreds of millions). That's why we haven't invaded China. Nuclear weapons are the great equalizer...which is why we can't allow a country like Iran to obtain them. The Muslim extremists who seem to be running things these days believe that the Koran tells them that they should strike at the infidels if their military might should become equal or superior to ours. We only invade dippy little countries whose military cannot fight back. Because sooner or later those dippy little countries will get their hands on a nuke...and at that point, they'll go looking for a fight with us. |

Given Wal-Mart's liberal return policy, Sorry, but there ain't one darn thing "liberal" about WalMart. http://www.wffhome.com/ Among this redneck, reactionary, group's claims to fame is funding the "Evergreen Freedom Foundation" in my home state. They support some shamefully selfish and destructive philosophies. Thanks for the link Chuck. It convinced me to go shopping at Walmart again this afternoon. Bought: 6 Mann's Stretch 25+ lures @ $6.48 ea. (They were $11.95 at the local tackle shop.) I also bought a DVD/VCR 20" combo for $219, a toaster oven for $10, and a microwave for $38. If I were as principledas you, I'd have spent an extra $150 to buy the same exact things elsewhere. Instead, I'm going to spend the $150 to take my wife and her Aunt and Uncle out to dinner this evening. I spent $10.45 for a coffee maker at WalMart seven years ago. I have forgotten to turn it off and left it on a few weekends and the thing still makes coffee as well as the first time I used it! Like most places today, Wal-Mart sells its fair share of junk. However, when you spend $10 on a toaster oven, if it even lasts you 3 months, what have you really lost. Disposable electronics. Who'd a thunk it? |

$11.95 at the local tackle shop.) You don't get it. The $11.95 is a better deal. You not only get a lure, you get to keep a local tackle shop. You think the guy who owns the tackle shop will be as predisposed to be as helpful and knowledgeable as a local tackle shop guy could be, once he's forced out of business by WalMart and its customers and he spends the last 10 years of his working life at Walmart, greeting his old customers with a talking cookie? |

My local tackle guy does fine. I don't buy my Mann's lures from him unless I happen to be there getting something else. But he has top notch equipment like Accurate, Van Staal, Shimano, Penn, Cape Fear, etc. that isn't available elsewhere. The local guys need to carve themselves a niche...and my guy seems to have done that to perfection. |

Despite the Walmarts and KMarts there will always be a need and demand for local bait and tackle shops. Perhaps Chuck can offer a better example. |

You don't try to compete by offering the same items as a high volume general purpose department store. You'll get squashed every time. What you need to do is offer the goods and services that the "one size fits all" places can't match. Dave |
