It is so precious to us, in fact, that the United States is funding dissenting groups, like anti-Iraqi terrorists, in hopes that they will do some of our dirty work for us. This is no secret. Government officials are amazingly frank about how much they want Hussein out of the picture. Now tensions are running even higher. It's as though America is looking for an excuse and has no problems marshalling in an army on a moment's notice.
Battleships are on their way.
The grandiosity of that title would be kind of funny if there weren't actual lives at stake. As of the wee hours on Sunday morning, the United Nations ceased its debates on how to handle the Iraqi letter. They will reconvene to decide what actions are warranted towards Iraq. It's unfortunate that their decision probably doesn't matter. If the United States decides that Iraq's letter isn't enough, we will attack on our own.
