Dialogue with Israel and Turkey will go a lot farther than dialogue with Saddam H.,imo. Really? Then why has it gone nowhere in decades? If the world plans on going to war with Israel or Turkey for their noncompliance of a UN resolution, then I'm sure elected officials in those countries will be hearing from their constituents. No way US will ever threaten Israel so it complies with anything, so let's leave that for now. As for Turkey, it all depends on how the issues are presented - try this: "UN wants us out of Cyprus. They want us to abandon the Turks who have been so brutally massacred in the past by the Greeks, when they decided to annex the island to Greece. Now they annex it through EU and want to get rid of our army so they can kill our kin. No way will we abandon the Turks of Cyprus...." et cetera ad nauseam If the American public can be rallied in the name of "war against terrorism" against a country who has never aggressed the US in any shape or form, who has done nothing remotely aggressive to anyone in the past ten years, who has no ties to any terrorist organisation, then trust other countries to be just as effective in misleading their own public opinion. It's all the game Saddam knows how to play It's a game all politicians know how to play. Saddam is hardly the most talented of the lot.
