Im not pro war but you're massively over simplyfying the issues here.

War is a terrible, terrible thing, almost glorified in recent skirmishes by 24 hour news showing distant shots of smart bombs. Maybe if they had the cameras where the bombs fell people would find it a little more distasteful.

France (with their nice leader who invites dictators to tea and cakes) and Russia dont want war because Iraq owes them billions, and they dont want to lose the debt if the country goes up in smoke. Its got nothing to do with if war is right or not, they dont care for the people of iraq anymore than Bush or Saddam.

Like I said, I'm not pro war, and I'd feel more comfortable if it was any other president than Bush that was leading the world into it, but one thing worries me. Blair has been accused in the past of making u turns to retain popularity amongst the voters. Yet on this case he's willing to put his entire career and place in history on the line for this cause. That makes me wonder what he knows that he's not letting on. We will never learn even 20% of the intelligence that the CIA and MI6 have gathered, and thats actually the way it has to be, like it or not.

We need ot be able to trust that the people that do see the evidence do make the right choices and for the right reason, and thats what concerns me, more about bush than blair to be honest.

.....wish we had Senator Palmer from "24" as US President....he'd do the right thing
