Although there was a lot siad about the UN and it's "charter" that I did not agree with in the President's speech, the part about Iraq and the partt about the US taking the path required for our own defense and the UN members choosing whether they want to be a part of it were very good.

We do not need Kofi's permission, we do not need a UN resolution, we do not need a UN colaition ... all we need is to be threatened and have a President willing to nullify that threat and a congress willing to fund it. IOW, all we need is our representatives to decide to do so.

Agreed. But the President's point was the Saddam had defied the UN - the very body which is now trying to say - look the other way - Saddam is not so bad. In other words, the President was bringing them a mirror. Whether they have eyes to see or not is another question. I know that the freedom loving people of the world are with President Bush and with America - including the silent ones inside Iraq and Iran who have suffered so greatly...... But, we face the grim reality that most of the world lacks the sure moral compass which is inside the heart, mind, and soul of President Bush. His leadership in this direction, however, cannot be denied. Let's see what the world does. If it does not join him - America - then there should be no question, we will act on our own.
