Re: What WMDs?

begin  Aaron J. Seigo's  quote:

a couple of things. first, what was the first of these things in the 
last 24 hours?

second, when things are posted here that are off-the-scale ridiculous, 
i cannot imagine any non-maoist list that would propose that "you're 
being ridiculous" -- which is what my post to you was, though a 
little more colorfully put -- would constitute a personal attack.

north korea has flat-out said that it intends to target the united 
states with nuclear missiles. indeed, it has said little else for six 
months or so. my point, that when there is a rabid dog in your yard 
you need to deal with it, is entirely valid; yours, carrying the 
metaphor to the fever swamps, is not, because in fact that dog is in 
our yard and announcing that it has rabies. and carrying the metaphor 
to the moon and back pretty much opens the way for a response which 
was, frankly, intended as a pretty good natured poke, as witness the 
fact that practically nobody says "you're insane!" to anybody they 
actually believe to be insane.
