Re-elect gore in 2004!

Gore got it right, which is unusual, never really was my favoirte pollie.

I think this issue will make or break the UN and certainly put some shape into what has been a shapeless international community since the cold war finished. What i fear is that shape is going to be rather ugly. If the US ignores international law the results could be disasterous, it will give a precident for everyone to, fundamentally changing international politics, International law is used as a lever to do things, without that lever and the method of being a GIC, things could be very ugly.

America's stance is making even america's closest allies termble. If Blair is not careful he's going to lose allot of support over this, the British don't support it. In German it won that slick bastard another term, here the sentiment is turning against Howard on this.

Unless bush can find an igniter, an actual justification, unlike the utter crud they've tried to pull far (weapons of mass destruction! On his own people! oh by the way we sold them to him and authorised thier use on Iran... ) this will polarise the international community and few will be willing to go with the US.
