Condor, Whenever some someone uses Tiananmen Square or the Holocoust the way you just did, it belittles the real event. In Tianammen Square a lot of people died standing up to tyranny and for freedom. No one died protesting American policy, but several thousand died in Iraq under Saddam during the diplomacy over the past few months. Yes, there will be death and destruction due to War, but are you forgetting the ongoing death? Who speaks for the Iraqi's? You have extinguished your moral beacon, as have the French by never producing or arguing the case of the Iraqi people. Yes you have argued for 'diplomacy', but how does that feed the children? Oil for food? The money is redirected to missiles and other weapons - don't kid yourself. John

"We consider ratification very important, but now this step is not justified."...>>
