Well it looks like other nations disagree with the "cheese-eating surrender monkeys". I don't have all the nations, but apparently seven other New European nations have told Germany and France to go to hell with the wheels on. In their joint declaration they talked of the "American bravery, generosity, and farsightedness".

This occured at the same moment that the UN selected Libya to chair the UN Human Rights Commision and Iraq will chair the May 12-June 27 UN Disarmament Conference. Iran will co-chair. And peole wonder why we don't defer to the UN more.

And to the twits who wonder why we don't subscribe to the International Tribunal, they obviously haven't heard that the defense counsel for Slobodan Milosevic has requested the Tribunal to indict the Last Bag of Puss to Infect the White House for war crimes. Yes that's right, your old rapist-hero, Bill Clinton. And for a typicaly Clintonian offense: Failing to act to prevent the massacres in Bosnia.

And as Don Firth notes " I can go to through various Mudcat threads...put together quite a collection of posts in which several people say, in essence 'Bush said it, I believe, it and that settles it'. I don't know what you'd call that other than blind acceptance".

Well Don, I have zero doubt that what you say is true, that you could collect "several people" who have in effect made such statements. And I have enough trust in your rationale and experience in the MudCat to have you belive me when I retort that were I to cut and paste quotes as you propose, I would have a Hell of lot more than "several" people, stating "(Fill in the name of your local Puss-Bag, Dictator, Wackoid, Communist Loser, or Anybody-But-Bush person) said it, I believe it and that settles it". A Hell of a lot more...

And the acceptance of such a non-critical thinking universe of characters, indicates a far blinder acceptance. They're like monkeys with a note in their mouths, they'll follow anybody...

And with the leaders of now a sizable coalition of nations standing up along side the President, the folks who state they believe Bush are in far better company then those twits who believed Clinton...
