re: I'm amazed that you actually give UN regulations precedence over the concept of fighting to help other people just because those people aren't the same citizenship as yourself. Not in the case of Iraq or any specific real world situation, but always. OK, here's your list... 191 countries. Start making up the agenda, because there is a lot of folks that need "help". state.gov

Exactly right. I believe in a nation's sovereignty and international law. I'm amazed that you actually give UN regulations precedence over the concept of fighting to help other people just because those people aren't the same citizenship as yourself. Not in the case of Iraq or any specific real world situation, but always. It means it's no sense posting to you since the details about this bombing and that protest and this election and that newspiece are just side notes and interesting tidbits. Regardless of what happens in ANY specific real world use of force against a foreign government, you are against it. Exactly. If everyone disrespected the laws and sovereignty, there would be anarchy. You assume that only we can and should go in and change things around in another country. Wonder if France decided to do the same in Belgium......or Russia invaded Latvia in order to clean things up or Burma went into Thailand to turn things around in that country? It would be mess.....and how would this be any different than what Hitler did. We've set the precedent that this kind of behavior is okay. Bush has created a very dangerous situation and you don't even get it. And the worse part, there is no one around who can stop us.....like we could with Hitler. You're living in la la land..... Sorry but I don't think you are in a position to judge. ted
