It is all too easy to demonise France, China and Russia; but the reality is
that most nations are against this folly. As far as I know, there are only two
nations where the majority of the population support the looming war: the USA
and Israel. Are all those who do not support the war somehow “far less moral”
than a bunch of guys with highly suspect morality themselves? Your monkey-man
“president” has engineered a situation whereby the world now questions American
actions by default, rather than trusting them. Elected leaders are castigated
by Bush & Co for saying no, whilst dictators rewarded for acquiescing.
How has this been allowed to happen?
