Re: ...If the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothinong, Does it cross your mind that the really evil men are in the White House, the guys with the wickedest war toys and the worst attitudes about greed on the planet? And if not, how can you be so naive? George Bush's whole raison d'etre appears to be deceptively enriching himself, his family and his friends at horrendous cost to the sanity and security of the planet. You don't see Bush's greed as the greatest evil on the face of the earth? I sure do.

Nikita > Spain's Socialists surely will have the opportunity to hand al Qaeda a victory.. I think you have missed the point about the actions of the Spanish government. They are not against the rule of law but in favor of it. The problem is that the US administration, and its allies, believe(d) they were beyond the law or that they were the law. They have the mistaken notion, as Hitler did, that they have the right to create the world in their own way and according to their own theories. This they intend to implement by means of the alleged military superiority of the US but it seems that that, too, involves more fiction than fact. As far as I am concerned, and for its own sake, the US would do well to take a lesson from the Spanish government. commondreams.org >>>"Our position is well known: firmness in the fight against terrorism as an international phenomenon; our willingness to lead this process because we have suffered in our country; and to work with all countries that are targets of that threat," government spokesman Eduardo Zaplana said. <<< breakingnews.ie >>>“If the United Nations does not take over the situation and there is not a rethinking of this chaotic occupation [of Iraq] we are living through, in which there are more dead in the occupation than in the war phase, the Spanish troops are going to return to Spain”, Zapatero said. He also pledged to be relentless against terrorism. “Terrorists have to know that (in Spain) there is going to be a government that is inflexible with terrorism and that wherever they are, they will be hunted down. This has been my policy since I was leader of the opposition.” <<<
