Mario, You obviously dont seem to take your own rhetoric very seriously. Portugal was very much part of the coalition of the coerced, along with powerhouses such as the Marshal Islands, Micronesia etc that provided "support" in the invasion of Iraq. In fact much of the final agreements between the so called coalition partners was hashed out at the Portugal sponsered Azores summit that was held a few weeks before the invasion began. In your attempts to defend the legitamacy of the this coalition, you have gone on record on many forums to state that any nation or individual that opposed the invasion of Iraq impicilty supported the islamic jihadis. You had even put the late Pope John Paul in the terrorist camp for the Vatican's opposition to the war. Perhaps you have since changed your mind and like 60% of the American public, no longer believes in the merits of this war, or perhaps you never placed much merit in this coalition of clowns to take it too seriously in the first place. Regardless, once you make up your mind and then figure out a way to elucidate your thoughts without resorting to abuse, you can perhaps try and explain the whole thing to us. Marlon
