Well, obviously we expected them to support us in something they think is a bad idea. Or am I missing something here? Do you really think they said no because it was the US, or do you think that they were protecting their interests. That's what countries do. It's their job.

You shouldn't let it bother you as it seems you are the one that is more in touch with mainstream America." Hmmm . . .just read something today that puts a wobble on your "spin". "NEW YORK--Now it's official: most Americans are idiots. Decades of budget cuts in education are finally yielding results, a fact confirmed by CNN's poll of March 16, which shows that an astonishing 51 percent of the public believe that Iraqi President Saddam Hussein (news - web sites) was responsible for the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. There is no reason to think that. None. True, George W. Bush has asserted the existence of indirect links between low-level Al Qaeda operatives and Iraqi intelligence officials--a lame lie repeatedly denied by the CIA (news - web sites )--but even our professional prevaricator has never gone so far as to accuse Saddam of direct involvement in 9-11. Despite their increasingly tenuous grasp on reality, not even the Bush Administration's most fervent hawks deny that the secular dictator of Iraq (news - web sites) is a mortal enemy of the Islamist extremists of Al Qaeda. No mainstream media outlet has ever reported otherwise. So why do these pinheads think such a thing? Simple: the official Bushie pretexts given for launching a unilateral invasion of Iraq don't stick. If Saddam was going to launch nukes or anthrax missiles in our direction, he would have done so during the last dozen years, while American warplanes were pulverizing his military installations with weekly bombing raids. He'd certainly let us have it this week, now that Bush is revving up the war he wanted all along--but he won't, because he can't." http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story2&cid=127&e=13&u=/ucru/the_moron_majority“Keep your elbow up!"
