this is going to sound strange coming from a pacifist like me, but i never said i was a blind. Some things have to be fought.

What a pity - the UN has again shown itself to be a gutless wonder. So (Mr) Blix (shouldn't Dr. be reserved for free thinkers) and the weapons inspectors want to go back, but don't care that the presidential palaces are out of bounds - joke ? Everything points to the probability that much of the iraqi military complex is underground and access is from the palaces and prisons where the inspectors do not go. and saddam buys more time!

it is sad to see the faces of iraqi children on TV, but the mind cannot help but ask, what are the people being exposed to in iraq that is causing such a hideous outbreak of cancer in this generation of children ?

after the horror faced by coalition troops from the gulf war syndrome, one can only applaud the humans willing to back in there to finish the job - i hold no brief for Bush or war mongering (I'd rather he storm the Nasdaq and raise it to new heights) but the primary job of a president, to protect his country, is a tough one as Sep 11th showed. As we know well in India / Kashmir.

dammed if they do and dammed if they don't...
