For the disarmement part, the inspectors are the only ones who can say if they can do the job, or not. If they say they can't, the war will be the only and last solution. There's a lot of possibilities to remove someone from power. The CIA was pretty good in these games in the past (even if the man to remove was democratically elected - Chile, 1973) For a trial, the World has to agree to an International Court of Justice first

Thanks for the response. We obviously will not come to a total agreement here on how to proceed. I think the goals of what we both want are basically the same. Just For Your Information. My perception of those around me (and that does include some Pro Blair Brits and myself) has a conflict with: "When a regime like Saddam's finds itself caught between certain death and abandoning its arms, I think it will make the right choice." (From the Times Article.) With the current position of no fixed date we do not feel any feeling of being "caught between certian death" exists. Again, Just what my perception of those around me is. :rose: "I will find a new sig someday."

The US Army is the Sword of Damocles. SH has to know why it could fall, not when. If a date has to be fixed, once again, it is the role of the UN inspectors.

No. Here it's called discrimination and it's most likely an infingement of the European Convention of Human Rights. I'm sure that any business that pulled such a stunt in the UK would be in court pretty damn quick...and facing some pretty lousy publicity which could well wreck their business. The only way I can see this guy getting away with it (which IMHO he doesn't deserve to) is if nobody complains. Anna :rose: www.annasplace.me.uk

I'm absolutely gobsmacked that you wouldn't. If you were out with me and were refused entry to a restaurant because of your nationality I'd kick up a stink like you wouldn't believe. ;) Anna :rose: www.annasplace.me.uk

It is all in how you read it. I believe that an individual should be allowed to make political statements. Not just organized political groups. "I will find a new sig someday."

How is the guy actually hurting anyone? If he's a jerk, then people shouldn't patronize his establishment. I definitely agree that the idea of some bad publicity is good, if the locals don't patronize him he goes out of business and bothers no one... I'm of the opinion that people resort to the courts to quickly at least here in the states. (After the experiences I've had with divorce lawyers you gotta understand;) ) People should accept and try to agree to disagree instead of making evry little problem a crime.
