>>How many of them are democratic nations?<< Is that now a criteria? or just another roadblock thrown out by the bush bashers? You guys are a joke >>How big of commitment have they made to this worthy cause?<< Was this a question when the Bush bashers wanted UN support? You guys are a joke. >>Were they threatened that if they don't tow the party line bad things will happen to them? << I think Great Britain could care less what threats come from the US so this ploy is hollow. You guys are a joke. On the other hand, Frozengonads made a bald face lie, you guys could care less. This is your trait. How do you look at yourself in the mirror? Jim
