Mr. Bush needs to grow up! If people don't like him, tought titty. He has a responsibility to maintain what's in the best interest of the United States, not his ego.

So it's in our best interest to forget about our best interests and kiss France and Germany's asses?

You ever hear of the word compromise? That's what needs to be done now.......consultation and compromise.

And it is definitely not in our best interests to be estranged from our biggest and closest allies

We're not. The UK is with us.

You have Blair sans his Labour Party and the people of the UK. I am not impressed.

Right now, Blair is fighting for his political life. He was appointed PM by his party........presumably, they can revoke that honor if they so choose.

Most of "new Europe" is with us. What has France ever done for us? I recently heard a commentator mention that "going to war without France is like going deer hunting without an accordion". That pretty much sums it up.</I.

Oh right......New Europe.....they don't have a pot to piss in. New Europe..........they're so new they don't have any money. I posted before.......the Czech Rep. is coming up with $35 million for the Iraqi effort. You understand that $35 million in this grand scheme of things is like pennies. And you know what, the Czech parliament is balking....they don't know how they will raise the money and they don't want to pay it. How do you like dem apples?

And that raises another issue........the leaders of New Europe; their parliaments and their people are not in agreement with their stance. Go back and look at the latest European poll I posted....the people in countries like Bulgaria and Rumania are less supportive of the Iraqi war than the people in France or Germany.

Is that what you all want.......a major war?

No, we want Hussein disarmed. France and Germany don't seem to want that.

And why do you think that is? And don't give this horseshit that they sell supplies to Iraq and that's why.

Do you have any reason to believe that this time around the Iraqi military won't be surrendering to news crews again? The only issue would be if Iraq is dumb enough to use WMD this time.

I don't know what will happen but I have a bad feeling it will not be the slam dunk you all seem to think it will be.
