"...If those countries block it, NATO is dead as an alliance. It will also indicate that no UN Resolution authorizing force will pass.

It is incredible to me that these nations would sacrifice NATO in order to protect Saddam Hussein, but that's what it's coming down to.

Europe will either fracture on Monday, or it will decide to follow the US lead and do the right thing.

I fear leadership failures of our past,
korea, cuba, vietnam,'90stragedies
and do not want to add another, as
being the demise of civilization
more than the parallels with Rome
and to go further back in history,
I suggest Donald Kagan's book
"On the Origins of War and the
Preservation of Peace" ...rto

once again and again and again...
the dems and dems-witted are not
rallying around the flag
