Dear Sama & All, This time, I'm really skate-boarding on egg-shells (please forgive me, dear List Manager!). Sama - this isn't meant as a personal attack - do allow me to address your concerns. You say this list has lost all meaning. If so, why are you contributing to an, allegedly, meaningless list? By discouraging active & diverse debate, & assuming there is a one-and-only answer, you, happily, go along with U.S.A.'s euphamistic "regime change", i.e. invasion. Who has imposed those devastatingly cruel & heartless sanctions/bombings throughout all these years, since the Gulf War? Why should we, now, trust the fox to look after the chicken coop? "Leaving idealistic scenarios alone", you suggest. Why? Should we rather pave the way for cynicism & warfare? Sorry, Sama, but on this occasion, realistically speaking, you have fully deserved your fair share of booings. Regime change? YES, in Washington (not forgetting Presidential, & non-Presidential, poodles!)!
