Derek,

Even that Gulf War story was not such a clear-cut diplomatic win for the US: remember that it'd been a tough shot to get China not vetoing it! Actually, China didn't vote for the UN intervention in Kuwait, they abstained from voting instead. And that led some nit-picking international lawyers to claim that the US did not succeed in rallying a UNSC quorum to justify the Gulf War.

So Long,

I guess that means there is going to be a war.
Groovy. I hope Bubba and his politically correct
war machine win, for my sake. After all, if
NATO loses this one it will prove once and for
all that it is a finished organization.

In the big picture, it does not really matter.
In one hundred years, people won't even remember
this matter. Who remembers the Armenians? I
guess its all water under the bride...
