Each of our nations tends to have its own constitution, Iraq may or may not have had, don't know, but the US one applies to the US .... isn't that written into it somewhere? ... well, in its title for a start, 'Constitution of the United States' .... today Neo is talking about some french law against religious symbols in classrooms, well please to note the complete absence of frenchmen trying to enforce this law in North America What a cunningly crafted piece of work that speech was, last night .... the 'permission slip to defend this country bla bla bla' ..... lol, it's not defense of a country that gets objected to, it's the ill-thought and poorly executed unilateral invasion of another people's country 'If the US was less powerful, someone else would be more powerful' ... only by comparison, and then in no threatening way - nobody is going to invade the USA, Sig .... in years to come China will have increasing power, a tradition of civilised interaction between nations could be useful then ..... another thing in that speech by the way, was Bush claiming that the WTC crimes were not crimes, but casus belli for permawar on whomever he chooses, with a specific rejection of any dialogue not absolutely controlled by the US ..... this is a blank cheque that will eventually bounce ... just try to imagine your own reaction to such dominance if it were directed at you
