The clear intent of the protestors is to do just that. What other conceivable reason could they have? You must have seen this thread: Subject 53789 I understand that reaction. I just saw an interview of a soldier who felt that way. That's not "feeling". That's reality. Presumably, when he gets there, he'll have more pressing things to focus on. Yeah. Like the bullets flying at him. Go argue this one with someone else. I can't make any progress with the people on that thread above. :-) Or X, for that matter, who posts there and has been presented with the arguments. And she has been to protests. The only failure illustrated would be that that their methods, the inspections, didn't find the weapons. Why does the UN pass resolutions if they are simply meaningless? Why bother with the UN at all in that case? Simply withdraw and let those who want ot play silly, meaningless games do so. One of the major failures is France's veto power on the Security Council. France is hardly important enough to merit that. It was a favo to their enormous egos in the first place that they got that. Justify this to me: France has a veto but Germany and Japan don't. Where does this fit in your free speech spectrum? story.news.yahoo.com
