What are you talking about? Russia took a clear position: Obviously you'll never understand because you have no motivation to even to attempt to.. You're blinded by your partisan hatred for Bush, and your denigrating racism towards Muslims... The people who insinuate are incapable of being either modern, or moderate.. It's all in vain, as you've previously stated.... The US has no business in trying to foster positive economic and social change in the Middle East because it's doomed to failure in the face of an Islamic juggernaut... All in vain... Let the muslims be subjugated by Islamic militants.. It's all they know and what they deserve, is what you insinuate by your claim that our efforts are in vain.. It doesn't matter that Islamic militants are blowing up innocent Iraqis, killing far more muslims than Americans.. Just leave them to their well deserved fate, right?? It doesn't matter that Al-Qaeda operatives are trying to incite a religious civil war between Sunnis and Shiites, threatening to launch ethnic genocide beyond anything we've seen to date in the region.. The intelligence on Iraqi WMD was unconvincing and Russia would not support an invasion until there was credible intelligence on which to base a decision to back an invasion. But it's convincing now.. David Kay proved that Saddam was continuing his WMD programs in direct violation of his obligations under the UNSC dictates. So there haven't been any stockpiles found yet.. Big deal... It would be nice if we did find them, but we STILL DO NOT KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO THE UNACCOUNTED FOR MATERIAL. No one has YET accounted for them properly.. Saddam certainly failed to account for them properly, and he deliberately attempted to engage in covert WMD programs in direct violation.. But we, and the Russians, have convincing evidence NOW of Saddam's continued violations and intent to pursue WMD programs, especially after sanctions would be lifted. But none of that would have been discovered, and the suffering of the Iraqi people would still be continuing... All because would rather side with the Russians and French and their oil ties to Saddam's regime than to believe that the Iraqi people deserve a chance to govern themselves. You rant about an American occupation, but then question why US forces pull out of Iraqi cities as their own security forces take over.. You'll simply never be satisfied by any US policies in that country.. But the bottom line is that the Iraqi people have been living in an occupied state for the past 30 years... An occupied stated supported and armed by Russia, France, and Germany.. And it's obvious that you preferred to see them suffer under that situation rather than see them have a chance to take the steps toward credible self-government. Face it GST.. you're a racist.. You have a subliminal disdain for muslims and any ability they might have to actually participate in a modern and tolerant society. And you're unwilling to lift a finger to try to create such a positive change in their lives. What a sad and selfish little world you live in... Maybe you should change your name to Nero.. Hawk
