Or if you blow some guy's head off when you think he's going to hit you, and it turns out he was merely trying to block a stray fly ball from conking you, what do you say to his wife and kids?

"Oops"?

I haven't read everything there is on the topic, but I also haven't seen any really powerful evidence that SH is a major threat to the US... whenever Bowser or others ask for it, nothing much seems forthcoming. SH certainly seems to want the US to THINK he's a major threat... Don't get me wrong, I think SH is a despot that the world would be better without, but I'm certainly not alone in wondering if an all-out war is justified... a sizeable percentage of Americans wonder, too, as do most countries other than Britain (or at lest Blair), from what I understand.
