JJ,
If i was european and saw last nights speech, my first reaction(whether i agreed or not with bush) would be, how could i be on the other side in case war does happen. Everything he said about saddam was true. He has these weapons etc. etc. This issue is how to take him down or at least get him to give up these weapons. But again as a european if the war started, there would be no question who to root for. This type of thinking on the rise will influence those reluctant governments. Do you see it this way too? mike

Rumsfeld might even find support of the American population if he manages to present more evidence.


Evidence? as Alfonso Bedoya said in "Treasure of the Sierra Madre," "Badges? We ain't got no badges. We don't need no badges. I don't have to show you any stinking badges!" The Iraqis have to show the evidence that they don't have the WWD's anymore. They can't because they do have them.

France and Germany may have got more than they bargained for by bringing in these new countries.

Do not be misled that there is not support for action in the US. There is, and it is significant.

Polls asking whether Americans prefer to go with the support of the UN are not a sign of ambivalence.
