Yes, Bush&Co. have pissed away whatever international goodwill was extended after 9-11. The scary thing is that they do not seem to care -- at all. They feel they have the power, and they will use it regardless of consequences. This is deeply immoral. I think it's called totalitarianism.

We can only hope that by the time they're ready to start shooting, international and domestic opinion will have turned negative drastically enough to give them pause. I applaud Germany and France for showing more spine than that weasel, Blair.

Cheers,
