>>Coercion, All In The Name Of Democracy<< Great article on fact! Thanks for posting it. >>"It's hardly a new phenomenon for the US to use bribes and threats to get its way in the UN. What's new this time around is the breathtaking scale of those pressures - because this time around, global public opinion has weighed in, and every government leaning Washington's way faces massive opposition at home." << >>According to the study, these 34 nations represent "only about 10 percent of the population of the world's 197 countries. Subtracting the estimated 70 percent of their populations that opinion polls show are not in favor of war, the war supporters in the coalition of the willing countries make up only about 3 percent of the world's population." A UN it ain't.<< To start an immoral war and trying to get it in the name of "Democracy" or "World peace" are certainly too much for Bushies to pay. After draining billions and billions of American tax payers' dollars and gave in with heavy political costs, Bushies could only buy so much "coalition of the willing" and lost its major allies. In spite of all that, the craziness of the war mongering will continue.
