Iraq
Now that the situation in Iraq is completely on the verge of disintegration, the Americans want others involved.... through NATO, no less! Forget the UN, they will turn blue in the face before they will ever even think of calling them in. While the UN should have been the obvious first choice!
"Internationalisation" the Americans call it. According to Rumsfeld, they have asked up to 90 countries to participate.
I dont know of a better recipe for disaster than occupying an unwilling country with a complete mish-mash of cultures and languages, under the volatile leadership of the Americans.
For heavens sake USA, get off your high horse and admit what we all have known from day one: you were wrong! Call in the peacekeepers of the UN and let them help Iraq form a new government! Kick out the czar of Baghdad and hand over the mess you created to the UN so it can be fixed. While it still can be.
Meanwhile, I am happy to see the sluggish US newspapers finally shaping up: the lies leading up to the war are being dismantled, one by one. The uranium purchase lie may well be the one to bring down the US and UK leadership. I certainly hope so! On why they went to war, Rumsfeld now says: "We acted because we saw the evidence in a dramatic new light - through the prism of our experience on 9/11."
This whole affair disgusts me and I sincerely hope the American and British public too. I hope the Americans show it in their vote in 2004 and I hope the British toss Tony Blair and his sincere face out of power. They and their cronies should be brought to stand before an international court, for going to war for no other reason than because a bunch of powerful neo-conservatives wanted them to.
