So you're saying that any time a preemptive attack 'makes sense' - even in the face of strong, credible, and unbiased evidence to the contrary - a country has the right to launch such an attack? What are your criteria for this? You don't like the leader: attack? The country has something you want: attack? You are kind of cranky and want to lash out at someone: attack?

Anyway, I'll just repeat that to anyone who actually considered the available evidence in a balanced and unbiased manner, the attack on Iraq did not make sense. So that argument is moot anyway.

With you on that one. Tempurpedic all the way! Thank you NASA.

I have it on good authority the Vulcans invented velcro. The Enterprise episode entitled "Carbon Creek" or "Carbon Canyon."

Oh man - generally speaking I love the way conversations flow on these threads! It's kind of like bar talk . But somehow I am thinking it's getting near closing time !!

Seriously though, it wouldn't surprise me if there was life on Mars at one time. It's inconceivable to me that there isn't life out there someplace what with the enormity of it all... but somehow finding life that has the same values in exploration as we do, constructed in a manor as we are, will be a supper long shot! There are just so many ways things can evolve...

Just look at this conversation lol .

I don't know about that... there seems to be a certain symetry between macrocosm and microcosm. The pinwheel morphology of a sea mollusk's shell here on Earth is mirrored in the structure of a spiral galaxy millions of light years away. Could be coincidence, or not. Would not suprise me if there is other sentient life elsewhere very similar to us.
