Pat re: Hitler was clearly invading other sovereign nations and taking them under his control. If Saddam did the same then I would be more likely to support taking military action against him................but he is contained. When Hitler broke Versailles Treaty he was very contained and by the time he started invading other countries it was already too late. re: VIolence just begets same example, if members of League of Nations would choose to enforce Versailles Treaty we would not have WWII and no extermination of Jews in Europe and 56 million people would not have to die. re: We must silence that call before mankind can move forward. and how are we going to do that, especially considering that yugoslavian conflict in Europe was also an echo of WWII. Muslims of Yugoslavia were Hitlers allies while serbs resisted occupation.

english.pravda.ru 13:20 2003-02-12 Spain's Aznar Internally Isolated on Iraqi affair Only his party supports Bush's position to attack Hussein. The Prime Minister of Spain, Jose Maria Aznar, faces the sixth consecutive negative of the Spanish Congress to support Bush's plans in the Middle East. Additionally, the growing popular opposition to Government's foreign policy, over 75% according polls, called on a massive demonstration for Saturday in Madrid as part of the European anti-war movement. According with the information published by the local media, national and communal forces will prepare a joint statement, in which they will ask PM's office to exhaust all the ways to find a pacific solution to the conflict and avoid war. The document is supported by the Workers Socialist Party of Spain, PSOE, the United Left, a coalition of communist and other leftist forces, as well as Catalan and Canarian nationalists. The statement comes by the time German Chancellor Schroeder holds talks in Madrid about the Spanish position on the Iraqi affair. Aznar, backed by his party, PP, has been a strong allied of Bush on US foreign policy over the last years. The United Left, IU by its initials in Spanish, had proposed a harder statement, but was rejected by the moderate Socialists. In such document, IU leaders urged the Government not to support in the UN Security Council any proposal that could allow the possibility of an armed conflict. Also, the final document will not include IU's about the use of Spanish bases by US forces. On Saturday, a nation-wide day of protests against war is scheduled to press Government to abandon bellicose Bush-style rhetoric. Marchers will meet in Madrid, Barcelona, Malaga, Alicante, Valencia, Oviedo, Sevilla, and all major cities of the country. Organizers expect a massive anti-war demonstration, which has already started in many national universities. "We don't want Europe to be economically powerful but politically coward", said Francisco Frutos, General Secretary of the Spanish Communist Party, during a summit in Buenos Aires on January. "Aznar's Popular Party - PP - is the most servile and abject follower of the most dangerous world leader, George W. Bush", added Frutos, stating clearly his point of view regarding Government's foreign policy. During the last weeks, Aznar faced repeated rejections to pass pro-Bush resolutions regarding the Iraqi conflict. The Spanish public opinion has expressed its opinion regarding the issue, but Aznar does not look like very much interested in listening to it. The protests scheduled for Saturday will be a test for the PP, looking forward the elections of May. Hernan Etchaleco PRAVDA.Ru Argentina
