I have no idea what you are talking about. Are you saying that the metaphor "a child asking for a permission slip from an adult" is apropos to the United States seeking consent of the United Nations? You seem to be saying that it is not a reasonable metaphor to describe the relationship between our country and the U.N. If that's so, then how can you defend Bush and Cheney's repeated use of the metaphor? Nick _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
