what can be done to make the proposed caucuses to choose an interim national legislature more palatable to Iraq's Shi'ite majority and the Kurdish minority.

After observing Iowa, one can hardly blame them.

I have written this note to the Scotsman and emailed to the Editorial department, after reading this post.

Michael Howard, asking for the resignation of Tony Blair over the Iraqi WMD question, is wrong and very worrisome. The reason why I say this, is because of the article that has come out today on the non-sanctioned, Pakistan transfer of Nuclear secrets and products to 5 African Countries and North Korea.

This continued attack both on Tony Blair and George W Bush, is dangerous. Pakistan is fighting off a horde of terrorists who are trying to overthrow the government of Pakistan to get their hands on the controls of such weapons. Numerous attempts on the lives of the Prime Minister and other officials in Pakistan is proving this out.

If the Transfer of these secrets and products went to Africa, I find that it is probable that the intel was leaked and the CIA and British Intelligence, and knowing that a transfer of this information could be an any day scenario between any of the 5 countries and Iraq a war was inevitable.

The pardon of the individuals responsible for this transfer in Pakistan, had to be done to
lessen the backlash on the Pakistani government, at a time when the Terrorists want create
a revolt within the country and take control of Pakistans WMD.

It seems that political hay, is more important to some in this world, than the security of its citizen's.
I know I am reading between the lines, but to error for security, is more responsible than playing to the dissenting voices for votes.

"I don't think any apologies are necessary," said Mr. Powell

Neither do I, Secretary Powell.

Maybe Annan and the UN should apologize to the people of Rwanda for not coming to their aid in 1994 and stood by as 800,000 people were killed. As the President of Rwanda said before the war "Don't allow what happened in Rwanda, happen in Iraq."
