without the US and UK how much power does the UN have.....95% of your power is going against you
vetoing any condemnation of Israel.
I think some rational thinking should be brought to this thread.I believe bush is a relatively evil (and slightly stupid man). However I dont think you can compare him to saddam in terms of evil, because saddam is pure evil. Bush I feel however is more of a threat to world stability, and that is what worries people. Look at his record post clinton : He's started two wars. He has undermined the UN and left it in tatters, he has split the EU down the middle, he has created the biggest global political controvery in most of our memories, and now he is bombing baghdad live on television. Now that is a threat to world stability.I have been saying what tech's leading statement was from day one. It's hypocrisy. Fortunately Tony Blair is bringing some stabilty to this alliance by effectively setting israel as one of the conditions for going to war hand in hand with america. If that can be achieved, then maybe we will see a more peaceful world.Now someone said that we only hate bush coz he is american. That is as wide of the mark as possible. Pre-Bush, Ireland had no anti-american sentiment to speak of, in factg we loved america, because of historical ties, and the good work of clinton in our own peace process. How the tables have turned however. In a matter of months we have people ridiculing the us president in workplaces and in school canteens, where politics rarely enters. This is anti-bush administration, not anti-american, but unfortunately we are getting the impression that americans agree with his stance and this is causing people to find difficulty differentiating between bush and america. In Bush's term so far he has turned america from being the savior to the villian of the western world, and he's only half way through.
He's started two wars.
Well, despite the moral justifications and excuse for war, technically Bush DID start a war in Afghanistan. This is an undeniable fact.

But this is besides the point. The fact is, Bush started 2 wars already,
