Re: [OT] Another heated discussion about the Iraq siutation, war and politics.
Personally, I am *hoping* that all members of the Security Council are aware of evidence for going to war. But as long as there isn't war, they benefit from profitable trade relations with Iraq. In the event of war, I *hope* the US can quickly enough find hard, solid evidence of WMD. It that is the case, then the impact on the world of the US going it alone *may* not be so severe.
On the other hand, if the US invades Iraq, and a month later still hasn't found any evidence of WMD, then I worry which direction the world opinion will turn.
Of course, I think that there is and already has been found evidence of WMD. It is interesting how a week or two before a possible war Iraq is revealing this and that bomb, UAV, etc. But this is still pretty minor compared to the THOUSANDS of GALLONS of VX gas we thinks Iraq manufactured. If the US invasion finds ->THAT<-, then I hope that will sway world opinion back towards the US.
