The shame is, this all could have been avoided if France, Germany and Russia had stood up and supported regime change in Iraq; if only for the fact of the atrocities committed on its' own citizens.

If they had, there would never have been protestors in the streets ... this all could have been done peacefully ... the world missed a chance to speak up in a unified voice against atrocities and for human rights.

It would appear now though that the intent of the "old 3" is simply to keep Hussein in power to serve their own financial interests. Now, we have calls for an "aid cease fire", we have Putin calling for a UN solution to the war. Didn't the U.N. have its' chance already ? What Putin really means is, let's stop this so we can buy time to find a way to keep Hussein in power.

Does anyone really believe Putin cares about Iraqi citizens ? He had no problem gassing his own terrorist and innocent citizens in a theater; hell, the old 3 apparently have no problem with what Hussein has done to his citizens.

The simple fact is there is a simple solution to sparing all lives; Iraqi citizens and coalition military.

The old 3, along with other M.E. countries, say it is time for Hussein to leave.

If people truly want to protest for what is best for Iraqi innocents, they would protest for this.
