I do agree that any statement should be a statement
of fact but, more then this I am begining to question what can be
acheived by challenging the sanctions and the bombing useing argument.
People have a nasty tendancy to be stuborn MP's included and I suspect that
most arguments serve only to reinforce the pro sanctions
position which they (are told) to hold.
The main problem which I see is that the MP's are
so full of self importance that they no longer see a world populated by
people but rather a world populated by MP's. So it is perfectly acceptable
for them to criple and bomb a country since the only people who are important to
them are the political leaders who reside there.
The big question is how to demostrate to a
politician that the people of the world are far more important then the
politicians.
