Sweden close to collapse - UK next?

@SS - well that closes the conversation doesnt it.

@NR - Sadaam became a threat when he used Gas on both the marsh arabs and the people in the north. It became genocide and under international conventions, no further consultation is necessary. The reason that local mid-eastern states didnt get involved was that they were scared of Sadaam. Remember that Sadaam had just finished a war with Iran. AQ Reps were already there in Baghdad and you dont get into Iraq at that level without Sadaam knowing about it.

As I say, I may be the tenth man but I will argue for the legitimacy of that war even if I'm the last person to do so.

OH BTW far from Blair being Bush's poodle.

Blair had to drag the US kicking and screaming into Yugoslavia even when Bush was an unknown governor in Texas
