I'm writing this lil piece because of the speech of Rumsfeld
Whereas Bush and Powell are trying to convince the UN of the guilt of Iraq and try to get the UN to help the US in such a war
It is Rumsfeld who storms right though by saying that the US doesnt NEED the UN and the English.But it's that statement that makes the US sound arrogant in the ears of it's allies, who dont think Iraq's guilt is proven
It's also this statement that makes me afraid of the US goverment
It's more the "muscle" politics, which the US uses, that gets a lot of people to be against their cause
The "Either you are for or us or you're against us" statement was accepted, though not liked, in the war against Terrorism
For now they are attacking Regimes that are obviously dangerous to worldpeace
But what about the future?
I'm afraid that once Bush thinks that this method of getting allies is the right one, and I'm afraid he'll end up abusing it
my question to you is
Do you think the US is using the correct method, to convince nations to help them?
And if you do think so, Can you take away my fair for The Bush Regime (I hope you can)

I heard some very interesting comments made by one of the so called "experts"
That one of the reasons some of the other countries are backing away is because they think the USA is arrogant. I said to myself what a pitiful postion to have, to honestly not stop the killings and human rights abuses going on in Iraq because they don't like somebody else's attitude. They are willing to sit idly by while other humans die, are tortured, and oppressed and do nothing because their feelings are hurt? That is the hieght of arrogance, to allow others to suffer real phsycial pain and death because of words. I can't believe that people around the world are honestly failing to do what may be neccesary, because they are offended, their feelings hurt. What are feelings compared to anothers life!
If this is the attitude of the rest of the world:
1) They sure as "Hale" don't understand they're own statement of a "World Community". A Community doesn't sit idly by while there is real suffering.
2) Makes me Know I was right when I rooted for the Y2K bug to end civilataion as we know it.[/QUOTE]To stop the killings and human rights abuses is one thing, but the question has arisen as to why now and why Iraq when there have been killings and human rights abuses around the world, long before this little tiff with Iraq. Such abuses will not stop with the ousting of Saddam, so will the US pursue every such criminal around the world in the extent that they have cornered Saddam?
Why has the US chosen now to act against such suffering around the world? Why have the waited so long to act?
There seems to be a hidden agenda at the Whitehouse regarding Iraq. Whether or not that's true, I don't know, but it looks that way.
