You have denounced both sanctions and force, yet you avoid presenting any alternatives, so I can only assume that you agree with me.. This is not the truth. I have many times said that the problem in the Middle East is not contained to Iraq and that while Iraq is containable you could argue that it pales compared to Palestine, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan. You can't treat the problem by attacking Iraq and abdicating your assumed role as peace maker in Palestine, broker of democracy in Saudi Arabia, a clear dictatorship with culturally institutionalized hatred for the US, and Pakistan, fomenter of Islamism and terror in Afghanistan and Kashmir. We can discuss Israel later. The administration subscribes to the doctrine that conflict between haves and have_nots can be solved by violence, in which the haves come out on top. Translated to policy, Iraq's ignoring of UN resolutions cannot be tolerated and make the UN "irrelevant" but when Israel does the same thing the UN's purpose is not diminished. This is a clear double standard that will be very difficult to argue. Al
