"China.... ...Croatia, the Czech Republic, Germany, Bulgaria, Belarus, Ukraine, and a number of Asia and Arab states ...." Are you suggesting a boycott of these countries?

Hi LindyBill; Re Bill Arkin: "As I've said before in these pages, the United States and Iraq are destined for war. But the administration is not as unilateral or preemptive as it postures to be. There is some logic in letting the inspectors meander. Perhaps the Iraqis will make a mistake in reacting to inspections. Perhaps new information will come to light as the pressure mounts. Perhaps a closely watched shipment will make its way to the treasure trove. Perhaps a new defector will come forth. Perhaps Saddam will get fed up before he gets his get-out-of-jail free card." This reminds me of the punch line to the joke about the guy who, in order to avoid immediate execution, tells the king that he can teach a horse to sing. Perhaps Saddam will die a natural death. Perhaps there will be a coup. Perhaps the economy will come back and the voters won't care about being misled by Bush on the subject of Iraq. -- Carl
