>No, but you can at least try. Specifically, you and me don't have much power over this situation, but the U.S. government does. And the question was not, what can you and I do, but what do I suggest that the U.S. government should do.

The U.S. government is taking the only action it can to protect the citizens of this country. We asked Saddam to disarm. He did not. Now we are going to do it for him.

>World problems should be solved cooperatively, whether you like it or not. The present system is simply not working very well.

Yes, the U.N. has consistenly showed its inability to solve world problems like Somalia, Kosovo, and Rwanda.

>World peace will come, whether we want it, or not.

Getting rid of Saddam gets us one step closer.

>"Whether peace is to be reached only after unimaginable horrors precipitated by humanity's stubborn clinging to old patterns of behaviour, or is to be embraced now by an act of consultative will, is the choice before all who inhabit the earth. At this critical juncture when the intractable problems confronting nations have been fused into one common concern for the whole world, failure to stem the tide of conflict and disorder would be unconscionably irresponsible."

>BTW, how do you manage to get any work done, whilst single-handedly fending off a host of people who critizize your government? <g>

Have you noticed all the help I am getting lately? Dan LeClair, Tracey, Sergey. And I think even Thomas Whitely is coming onboard. < g >
