Point 1:-- I hear in this morning's news that Blair is now saying that the inspectors should be given more time. Is it possible that Blair is flirting with the idea that Great Britain may join the old, outdated, and irrelevant portions of Europe?

Point 2:-- unclecharlie, I won't comment on most of what you said other than to echo what Ebbie said, and to also point out that refraining from going to war is not appeasement. As far as I'm concerned, Saddam can have all the weapons of mass destruction he wants (just as we do), as long as he fully understands that if he uses any of them against any country, the rest of the world will mash him like a bug. And I think he's not totally unaware of that. Nor is North Korea.

If the United States attacks any country pre-emptively, then it becomes the rogue nation.
