At the same time, King Abdullah of Jordan told Tony Blair that the Arab world opposed an assault on Iraq; priority should be given, rather, to resolving the Israeli-Palestinian crisis. That is a view widely held by members of the European Union.

Saddam's money to Arafat was apparently well spent.

As speculation mounts about the kind of campaign the Americans will launch to overthrow Saddam Hussein, allied misgivings are becoming more pronounced.

In the 1980s when Reagan rightly declared the Soviet Union the "evil empire", Europeans went wobbly in the knees.

When Reagan deployed mid-ranged Pershing missles in Britain and Germany, the Soviet lackeys ringed air bases in huge anti-war demonstrations.

Reagan held fast. The Soviet Union collapsed.

One thing consistent with the Euros - they are cowardly and brainless. They never learn the lessons of history.

President Bush has learned the lessons and will deploy the Reagan offense again. And again it will surprise the world.

Americans have two things Europeans will never have - brains and guts!!!

Well he's got his priorities and we've got ours. So let him solve the Palestinian problem, and we'll take care of Saddam.

There is no place on earth that should be made to or forced to tolerate, live under, live with the evil threat that Saddam gleefully dreams of unleashing upon peaceful freedom loving human beings. I'd place my marker on the line that says world very much better without Saddam and any other like demented lunatic minded despot.

Only place that could place a very hot welcome mat out for Saddam, is HELL.

Thankfully, we have a President and many millions of people that would gladly send him there.
