Saddam could easily be called to justice by the international court. At the rate things are going he might find himself in the cell next to Dubya.

The Arab world can blame us a lot more than they do now. Don't fret about that. Things can always get worse, and in the ME they usually do. I understand you think war is just a peachy thing (and SO much better than other alternatives), and that we really really need it right now. I disagree with you.

you certainly are long winded, and you simply say the same thing over and over and over. You are not entertaining me.

maybe you could engage someone else now, so I don't have to bother with ignoring you?

>>> And with the pressing demographic trend in the middle east, where in some countries 50% of the population is below the age of 18, this economic pressure will only grow unless the West takes DRAMATIC action to create economic and political change in the region.<<<

Let me see if I've got this right. Bush is banking on war support from some Arab dictators, most of whom have really horrible policies relative to women and nations where stoning or hacking off limbs of an accused is considered social justice. OK, so he's gonna use these dictators to prosecute his war, the so-called war to bring democracy to Iraq.

Meanwhile, nations who have democracies and whose leaders are voting in the United Nations, and who are making decisions to reflect the common will of their citizenship, because those decisions are contrary to what Bush wants, they now become enemies of America: France, Germany and Turkey and whose next?

Anyway, back to the excerpt highlighted above from your post. Do you really think Bush's abortion policies are gonna well serve those Muslim nations which have a 50 percent population of youth?
