firstly i want to say that basicly everything i belive in arbiter has already said in his two posts... though i cant let this by without saying it in my words.
if bush does indeed now go ahead with war plans then the fact that he is willing to sacrafice his political future and support from the populace shows his convection to what he thinks is right and that he is willing to lose everything for what he belives in (just like the tragic plays of theatre). you might not think it is right to go to war but you have to admire someone who stands up for what he belives is right, through thick and thin.
now seeing as the anti-war movement is succeeding to some extent there are a few things that dissapoint me. one is that it seems we are going to be staying in a state of suspense with no end truly coming about and this may last on for years and years. what is the point about dragging on something you can fix today? another thing that gets to me is that no real solution to core problems have been proposed. i feel as if the anti-war movement is stripping away one viable solution without bringing forth a new one to replace it.
My impression is that the UN is basicly just out to make sure iraq has no WOMD and most the members in the anti-war movement are trying to save the iraqi people from 'collateral damage' and stop american aggression just for the fact that is america and the actions are aggressive. both of these body's have failed to address and dare i say even bring a solution as to the other core issues at hand. how do you deal with someone who is defying the world? how do you bring about freedom and libirties to those who are suffering from tyranny and oppression? how do you stop a leader who is a genuine threat to world stability? as a person should saddam have to right to continue governing a country? even a simple question like, what should be done? there is a lack of answers to these questions, even all the governments involved (US included) have failed to bring up and talk about this issues.
too many people get caught in the details of specific countries, commadities such as oil, intentions like ruling the world and all the variable small issues. people should look at the bigger picture and disgard all of the above. the picture becomes crystal clear in that we as a world are trying to rid it of something bad, simple as that.

Trust me, Bush wont sacrifice his political interest to do whats right. IF it was so, he would've done it by letting the re-count and or RE-Vote when he was elected, yet he found it more then a fair win, which we all know .. it was a pretty bad dirty win. To another extend, to show you that he wont sacrifice his political re-election, shows it today that he is even softing the U.N. Resolution. This is new news for today. I do agree that if he does find that its the right and moral thing to do and attack Iraq, not mattering what the outcomes for him would be, it would really be a very memorable and rightous moment for Bush. But, Mr. Bush didnt even show his face on Saturday, exept to say to the people not to worry about the ORANGE code alert. The only one, who really stood up and kept up to his saying, was Tony Blair, who actually commented on the protestings, but Bush ? ? Bush was too worried with his administration and thinking on whats the best thing to dofor his interests, and the outcomes. And now, he comes up with a softend resolution. So I doubt now, that he is doing it for the moral and all the right things you said IZZY, which would be neat, but he is not gonna do it. A president does what popular sovereignty tells him .. its democracy, and if the majority of Americans want something, he should do it.. if he doesnt, he does not represent what the Republic of the United States stands for.
