jonnycat, i would love to be able to see polls in a month that show that an overwhelming majority think the war was the right thing. that would most likely mean that we suffered very little in this upcoming conflict. that's my greatest hope at this point. i'd love to see the iraqi soldiers surrender before the first bullet flies.<br><br>[color:blue] -sean</font color=blue>

I don't think anyone can argue with that.<br><br>"You can stand tall without standing on someone. You can be a victor without having victims."<br>--Harriet Wood
McCain admits today that the War in Iraq was about oil. Imagine that. <br><br><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/g04Ry0SQCko&hl=en"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/g04Ry0SQCko&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="344"></embed></object<br><br>But who cares since McCain will get rid of the 18 cent federal tax on gas and give us all an extra four dollars a month to spend on summer movie popcorn. Screw those rotting bridges. Manana.<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>
By the way, is diplomancy like necromancy?<br><br>[color:purple]A lopsided man runs best along the little side-hills of success<br>- Frank Moore Colby</font color=purple>

<blockquote><font size=1>In reply to:</font><hr><p>Diplomacy was tried...that's why he went to the UN instead of just going after Iraq at the start. <p><hr></blockquote><p> Your getting confused between diplomacy and legality. The way the UN Security Council works is that there has to be unanimity. If that is lacking the proposed action is unlawful. Nations can't make lawful what is unlawful by not turning up at the UN because they are bound by the terms of the UN Charter, in this instance to recognise the territorial integrity of Iraq.<br><blockquote><font size=1>In reply to:</font><hr><p>And the French really irked England too...so it's not just us.<p><hr></blockquote><p>They didn't irk England but Blair, which are two completely different things. The British people were overwhelmingly behind the French position because they knew, like the French leadership did, that the wmd case they were being fed was baloney. <br><br>km<br><br>
