> Why do we want to give every two bit country an equal say?

I wasn't going to get involved here but lately I have heard and read too many such arrogant statements from so many levels (including Orin Hatch) that I can't resist.

For your information, we don't live in a vacuum. What happens in one part of the world directly affects everybody, including those two bit worthless people who just don't want to be involved in the mess that US and UK created in the first place.

Fallowing your logic, the rest of the world should have absolutely no say in destruction of rain forests because they are not buying firewood from Brazil. But guess what, that would affect everyone on this planet.

Does it not strike you as strange that UK sold Saddam the factory to produce chemical weapons and is now complaining that Iraq can produce chemicals? That Bush Sr. actively prevented the people of Iraq from over throwing Saddam but now his son wants to be the victim's rights group for the same people (but would not agree to an elected government in Iraq)? That a year after invasion of Afghanistan, despite all the promises of aid and reconstruction, not a single home has been built there and in fact the situation is so bad in Afghanistan that some people are wishing the Taliban would come back?!

I normally don't go on a rant, but this is too much arrogance!
