Of course I don't think the UN is our leader............we thought of ourselves as the leader of the free world but we now have undermined that position by trying to force a war that is not yet warranted ( according to many in the UN). I see. Well, the fact is, Pat, we cannot undermine our leadership position by being first to push into Iraq. By being the leader here we are by definition leading. The rest of the world is simply shortsighted. Sometimes when you know you are right and that you must make a certain move, then you make the move even if you are surrounded by hordes of stagnant intellects with no courage. Other nations will follow us because we are leading them. And those who will not follow will not matter.
