It is very true that violence is the last resort of the desperate and the stupid.

And unfortunately, it's all too often the first resort.

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.

Yeah, I keep hearing that from the people who are hungry for war with Iraq, but I have yet to hear or read the name of even one of them. I may disbelieve that one perhaps just a little bit less when they name the countries.
