Guest petr ... Thank you for your posting. This is exactly what I, as an American, have been concerned about. For President bush to start a pre-emtive (sp?) war, without crystal clear justification, has probably ruined forever our credibility. You mention that you think that "75% of Americans think there is a link with Hussein and 911." I do not agree. I think that this Summer, being the time of a presidential election, will show that many more Americans than 25% do NOT see that connection. I can only hope that I am right.

By the way, I agree with your analysis of Europe in the 1930's. I have a question for you, sir: Because you live in closer proximity to Iraq than we do here in America, do you think Europeans are generally pleased that Hussein is now out of power? Bob
