I do not accept the rule "slam the US whatever it does, iignore all other logic" as a foreign policy guideline - but it sure seems to be yours.

If the US says that they are going into Iraq to free their people from tyranny and brutalization, then should they not do the same for Sudan, if what you say that there is slavery over there? I call this double standard. It has nothing to do what my view is on the Iraqi attack.

Logic says if A=B and B=C then why shouldn't A=C.

Regarding the UN resolution, US sought the support of the Security Council before the attack. It failed to get the required number of 9 votes. In spite of that they attacked Iraq. Was it not foolish and the failure of Bush's foreign policy to even seek that Security Council vote? My logic, if you seek a vote, then abide by it or don't seek it is what I am saying.
