Thanks, Ted. I know the longer the string remains unyanked, the less likely it will be. Still, it's a mother's lot in life to worry over the well-being of her children.

Indeed. My son is coming up on 17. I don't understand why Dubya has such a bee in his bonnet, but if he drags us to war I hope it's over in less than a year...

At 18, all US males have to register for the draft. Right now it's not used, but if the prez decides that he needs a healthy human shield, folks like me will be off to the front lines.

Yes, I knew this, Jazzo. What I was referring to was "if Dubya drags us to war I hope that it's over within a year". Instead of worrying about whether he will do it you should be making sure that he doesn't do it.
