"What good are UN resolutions that are not enforced? Hot air and wishful thinking."

AGREED.

It is bad enough when there are two lawyers arguing in a court room. It is a nightmare when there are hundreds of diplomats...

Still...even an imperfect process is preferable to outright aggression. The States will not always be the most powerful Nation on Earth. When that time comes when they are not...they will fight HARD for the right to place diplomacy, dialogue, and reason above brute force.

What we must all defend is reason/compassion, reason/compassion, reason/compassion...otherwise...ALL IS LOST.

Again...I am NOT saying that war with Iraq (or anyone else) is necessarily wrong. I am only saying that such terrible matters require extremely compelling testimony and proof in a public forum.
