fianl thoughts

Two final thoughts on this discussion -

The war with Iraq - is it fair to kill thousands of innocent civilans for the actions of their government/military. I wholeheartedly support action against terrorists and the governments that support terrorism.

Finally, the question from many people in Australia (an other nations outside of the US) is "Who made the US the policeman for the world?" Why does the US constantly preach the wonders of democracy, yet at the same time refuse to listen to the decisions handed down by the UN?

This comment is not meant as an attack on any American, it is simply intended to highlight the hypocrisy of governments in general (truth be told, Australia is not much better - but being smaller, we get less focus).
