Do I now take it that the Ribander case, albeit set in Goa, which has been on Goanet much longer than the USA issue, is next for the chop? After all a precedent has now been set.
I agree that the Ribandar case has gone past it's sell by date. Still I would propose that we give it one more chance; after the next Court date, which I believe is in the first week of January 2005 - if nothing of importance arises, the powers that be, should chop it ( ala Bobbit)
Finally, even though no room for manoeuvre is left for further responses I did wonder if there were any betting odds that the Americans will cut and run, following the forthcoming Iraqi election? The parallels with the situation in Vietnam, including growing internal American dissension, seem uncanny in this illegal, unprovoked, and unwinable war.

Dear Cornel,
Please do not attempt to steal my thunder! I did, after all say it first - Mario Goveia is my witness - I asked simply what his stance would be if the Yanks called it a day and washed their hands!
Every one - a happy peaceful New Year to you and yours.
Cheers,
Gabe.
