Heck, Americans are obsessed with BRITISH royalty. We should have kept a figurehead King way back when; Americans would be so much happier.

Teribus, I disagree with the concept that Bush & Co. are such masterminds of strategy that all of this has been a subtle and complex plan to enforce UN resolutions. If it works out that way, it'll be nice. Saddam is not a very pleasant fellow, and I have disagreed all along with a policy of sanctions that destroys the populace while leaving him unharmed -- change must come from within to be legitimate, and people dying of dysentary make poor rebels.

The US is very selective in which UN resolutions we want enforced, and it smacks of hypocrasy, not diplomacy. Being the world bully only stirs up the kind of resentment that spurs the recruiting efforts of terrorist organizations -- the "war" we are currently fighting.

Thanks for the well-reasoned arguments; I'm enjoying them.
