Other parts of the world share this view too. Excesses in policy decisions as a result or using 9/11 as an excuse. That the war on Iraq is more for Oil than anything else, especially in light of North Korea's posturings. If Bush was to be true on his rhetoric N. Korea should get a smack down before Baghdad. The fact that you can't talk out against the war or anything else that Bush is doing because that makes you either unpatriotic, or with the terrorists..or just plain stupid. There's truth in almost everything this reporter is saying. But as with most things..it can be rebutted..debated..ad inifinitum. I tend to agree with this point of view , however. Unless the US has some secret evidence that shows that there is some major plot afoot aided and abetted by Iraq..or that they have nuclear/biological weapons and are ready to launch..then I don't see how they can attack without a UN Resolution. And if they say f*** the UN..then why all the posturing to get a resolution in the first place? -Gel -----Original Message----- From: Andy Ousterhout [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] I am curious from those of you in the UK and other parts of Europe how widely this view is held. Andy The [London] Times January 15, 2003 OPINION The United States of America has gone mad by John le Carr� America has entered one of its periods of historical madness, but this is the worst I can remember: worse than McCarthyism, worse than the Bay of Pigs and in the long term potentially more disastrous than the Vietnam War. The reaction to 9/11 is beyond anything Osama bin Laden could have hoped for in his nastiest dreams. As in McCarthy times, the freedoms that have made America the envy of the world are being systematically eroded. The combination of compliant US media and vested corporate interests is once more ensuring that a debate that should be ringing out in every town square is confined to the loftier columns of the East Coast press. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=5 Signup for the Fusion Authority news alert and keep up with the latest news in ColdFusion and related topics. http://www.fusionauthority.com/signup.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
