>> they can help rebuild Iraq<< Not the Syrian government. Syrian companies. Syria's not part of the Axis of Evil, just part of the Axis of Not Nice At All.

Hezbullah and the Bekkah valley of vipers is next - bet on it. This will be the true test for both Iran and Syria. Last chance for both.

Paul, get a grip. Impeach Colin Powell? There's no need to have wars with everybody. Softly, softly catchee monkey. Speak softly, carry a big stick. What gets rewarded gets done. This isn't kids' cowboys and Indians shoot 'em ups. Reading this stream of consciousness is the sort of thing which makes a lot of people around the world worry about Americans wanting to rule the world. Colin Powell is doing a good job. So is King George II. You might not like it, but We the Sheeple think that the UN does have a big role to play. I don't like the constitution of the UN, but it's better than nothing. If the USA really wants to make things happen better, they could push for a better UN constitution. France could be decommissioned for a start. Also, cut out the middle man and just as we elect governments directly, put the boss of the UN to a global vote. The USA is purportedly in favour of democracy, let's see just how true that is. I think not very true. They are also in favour of human rights - but to a limited extent for people who aren't Americans. Whining about mistreatment of American soldiers who are taken prisoner? The perpetrators of such horrors should get the same punishment as Lt William Calley or those doing a bit of 'face-slappy' of apparently subhuman Islamic Jihad prisoners. Mqurice
