Fred, you make me want to hold your shoulders and shake you to consciousness :-)

I am against genocide and believe that the appropriate venue for dealing with crimes against humanity is the UN

WHAT GENOCIDE??? (for the umpteenth time... for crying out loud, Fred...)

Are you under the impression that there was some genocide going on in Iraq that somebody needed to interfere with as soon as possible? WHAT genocide are you talking about, Fred?

The UN, because of french venal interests, failed

No. It was because the proposed invasion was based on lies and half-truths and complete fallacies, and was COMPLETELY against the UN Charter which clearly says it is NOT for a war of aggression no matter what. And no amount of schizophrenic paranoia against the French or any other country (remember Germany and Russia?) is changing that any time soon.

I am willing to pay a price in order to discourage other such criminals

You think I care YOU paying the price, if that were the case?

As it is, it is the 6,100 civilians massacred by your country's army in Iraq who "paid the price". And their families and loved ones. And the American kids being popped every day in Iraq and their loved ones.

If YOU were getting off your bum and going to Iraq to fight, I would have felt a bit more sympathetic to your bravado re "paying the price".

Moreover, I have consistently criticized Bush's economic and foreign policies

Sorry, that doesn't clear you of supporting the invasion of Iraq.
