you know, I would actually really like to support this country, and to agree with their decision (made probably over a year ago, thank you very much) to invade Iraq, and I think it would've been possible for them to at least attempt to put on a good show of trying to persuade people - American citizens and other countries - to go along with it. the utter lack of any such attempt should make us wonder why they think they can just do this. it might at some point in the near future become clear that they can. and that should be very, very frightening.
