Dave >"To those who make reference to "international law", the fact is that "international law" has been flouted by rogue nations throughout history I'm sure that's true and that is why most of the nations in the world today are concerned about the US and its "manufactured" reasons for going to war with Iraq. If I believed there was one iota of a threat from Iraq against the US, the UK or Spain I would whole-heartedly support the idea that these nations should defend themselves, even by means of a pre-emptive strike. However, I cannot see one scrap of evidence to support the view that Iraq has been or will be a threat, even a small one, to these countries. Frankly, in their manifest overreaction to the so-called threat of Iraq's WMD, which only the US and UK know about and no-one else, not even the weapons' inspectors, one can only compare the US and UK to an alcoholic with DTs who is terrified by his hallucinations of imaginary spiders and other creatures crawling on his bed and up the walls. The only difference is that it's not an addiction to alcohol that's the problem but to war.
