What makes you think that any "new" international organization that includes France and Germany will be more amenable to nations acting in their own self-interest?

The Pope opposed our incursion into Iraq. Did you miss that?

[Polycarp IV]

The Pope opposed our incursion into Iraq.

Yes, and other good decent honest men also opposed it.

And still do. Its no surprise that we caught Saddam, is it?

Is that our latest justification for it? Does that not now impose upon us the absolute requirement to invade every country in the world with a tryant at the helm, since the only remaining valid justification of the war is freeing oppressed peoples?

Where does it end?

Were there not other countries with worse records of abuse? China? North Korea?

Why DID we invade Iraq, Sink?

Don't give me today's answer! Tell me what we were told the day before we invaded? That was the official line, anything since is situational spin.

No, I didn't miss it.  I debated that point with you back in the Spring as a matter of fact.

Then, as now, I have noticed a "style" that you have which sort of clashes with my "debate" preferences, or practices.  If you're interested, these include:  comprehensively articulated inferences supported with facts/links/direct quotes.  I hope you aren't offended, but it is too late for me to engage any further.  G'night.
