So you're proposing we go in there now and take him out? As opposed to wait and let the inspections work? I can see why the Administration wants to go in now, but I can't quite understand why you'd want to. I'm inclined to think it's just fear. Terrance too. He seems scared out of his mind when we talk about terrorists and Saddam. But you're all the way down in Austrailia and I should think you'd feel secure. Maybe our Propaganda is better than I gave it credit for. I don't know.......It's just that you're a  Pynchon fan, a scholar maybe even now that you're published in the  Notes--it seems that you of all people should be able to see through it.
