However, for all I respect the American
constitution and it's ideals and the ideals of most decent ordinary
Americans, I would have to add that those ideals have not always been fought
for well.  America has invaded politically or militarily many countries
whose only crime was to choose (democratically) a different political system
to America's or to elect a leader that the American leadership disliked.
So we're not perfect.  Name one country that has done better.  I wonder
why our shores teem with immigrants.

I just
don't like sweeping comments that hold America up as a beacon for democracy
world wide.
Again, name a country that has done better.

September the 11th was terrible.  What we need is a real United Nations that
will go to the aid of any country that is being invaded or attacked by
another, without economic or political preference, whether that country is
Vietnam, Yugoslavia, Burma, Ireland, Israel, Palestine etc etc.
Never happen.  The UN is political.

Just my view,
Understood.  My belief is that the UN will never agree to what has to
happen to Saddam Hussein.  Does anyone really not believe he is a
tyrant?  I fear the US will wind up like Israel, with continued
terrorist attacks and suicide bombings here and there.  Just far enough
apart that the UN will say "Oh no, you can't do anything about it."  And
we'll be expected to just sit and take it.
