Awwwww, little tiny EU ministers don't have the stomach to be all grown up now do they? What a bloody surprise. I'd say my heart bleeds for them, but then they might confuse me with someone who actually give's a rat's arse about what they think.

I hope Blair can hold his nerve. Siding with the EU, which has never shown resolution, virtue or character, is intolerable for a nation that should pride itself on it.

What happened? Did their 6-month leadership rotation schedule change recently? (sarcasm)

I'm sure we'll see EU concerns with an attack on Iraq restated from various venues quoting various spokesmen in various publications as breaking news over the next few months. Personally, I think it would only be news if they didn't express their concerns.

That court can be expected to be a vehicle for nothing other than the obstruction of the enforcement necessary for an international order of cooperation based on international law. When a nation like Iraq can not only defy U.N. resolution after resolution but then sue the nation that acts to enforce those resolutions we will have fully emascualated the Western nations.

This court, too, will also be a vehicle for the continued harrassment of America. That's part of the point, of course.
