What are you babbling about here? Indonesia invaded East Timor and slaughtered a large part of the population. Heeelllooooo McFly!!! What color is the sky in your world???!!! I distinctly stated that the UN MISSION protecting East Timor during its elections (remember the Aussies going there?) was MASSIVELY supported by American military air and sea lift... You see Tommie boy... No other UN nation, other than Russia, has anywhere NEAR the American capacity to move equipment and men to an area, and then support them while they perform their mission.. The UN is NOTHING as a military or peace-keeping force, WITHOUT MASSIVE US logistical and financial support. So in my eyes, if we have to bear the major cost of UN operations around the world, spending our tax dollars to support them, then I figure we have EVERY RIGHT to make sure our interests are represented. And our interest in Iraq is to get rid of Saddam and replace him with someone/something less threatening.... And what's even more amusing is that your opposition to the US overthrowing Saddam seems rather strange given your hatred of other despots such as Somoza... If we "created Saddam" (which I don't believe did), then we have the obligation and duty to bring him down... Hawk
