<watch the rest jump on the Bandwagon>
OK, I'm willing to make a very specific prediction, for the near-term future. Here it is:
Nobody jumps on the Bandwagon, after Regime Change in Iraq.
Everyone (and that means just about every other nation on earth except the Israelis) will continue to be just as worried as they are now, about U.S. unilateralism, hegemony, bullying, arrogance. Let me be specific: I predict, the next time we go in for Regime Change, or putting pressure on any nation (N. Korea, Iran, Syria, whoever), the Coalition of the Willing is no bigger than it is now. Maybe smaller, as 75% of the Brits are against this war, and Blair isn't going to survive much longer if he keeps ignoring his own people's opinions.
That article I posted, Message 18709354 about the Nation-Building plan for Iraq, made it clear that the UN and EU have already washed their hands of it, we are on our own to pick up the pieces. |
