<Do note, by the way, that in assuming your country has the right to remove other heads of state, you are paving the way for other countries to do the same to you. Not that it would be that much of a degradation of the international political scene, after your president placed a reward on an ex-head of state currently in exile, which paved the way for other countries to do the same to Bush, probably.> THIS BASIC LOGIC escapes almost everyone. Especially those unable to view the forest for the trees.

Not that it would be that much of a degradation of the international political scene, after your president placed a reward on an ex-head of state currently in exile, which paved the way for other countries to do the same to Bush, probably. But that supposes that other countries could do the same to the USA. But they had better count the number of Aircraft Carriers that they have before doing so.

Zonder-- >>I don't agree that a country or several countries should have the right (let alone the obligation) to remove the head of a sovereign country because they don't agree with his way of government.<< Once again you trivialize murder, torture, and genocide. Let alone the gassing of innocent children, women, and other civilians. To state that is merely a disagreement is beyond comprehension and I cannot believe that you and others see that the invasion of a country should be done because of disagreement. Yes-- I emphatically disagree with the slaughter of innocents. Yes, I think that people who commit horrid crimes should be punished. Yes, I also think that those who turn a blind eye to the slaughter of innocents are also guilty. Especially when they try to rationalize the atrocities they allow. fred
