anti-USism. It's somewhat normal around here.

Yeah, even from many of the Americans on the board. I can understand people being critical. I think Bush is a terrible leader, with about as much charisma as Pepe Le Pew. But there are some pretty ridiculous conspiracy theories being thrown around here, and I think it's become quite popular to buy into each and every one of them without considering other possibilities.

For the record, I am very much against going to war without U.N. support, and even with that support, I would hope for a peaceful disarmament of Iraq, and hopefully, an end to Saddam's reign of terror. But if it weren't for the U.S. taking a lead in this, the U.N. inspectors would have no support, and would have left the country a long time ago, with the same story... "well, we couldn't find anything, because they wouldn't show us anything." Does the U.N. matter if 15 countries can unanimously pass a resolution but not enforce it?
