Sorry that you are insulted Mr Buckley, but let me say again what must be said. End does not justify means? well the end we want is what CASI stands for i think, we want to stop the ACTUAL dying of iraqis that is happening and has happened already under sanctions- people give figures in the millions for this. The means i suggest is that america take back iraq from the dictator which they gave it it to in 60's by force. this is called going to war against iraq. well in the past putting a place under siege so that people in it starve/die as a result was considered a tactic of war. now it is called sanctions. to iraqis it is the same- we die in sanctions we will die in this coming war also. america is undisputed superpower in the world. they wanted sanctions against iraq they have it. none of these lefty monkeys and thieR marches has been able to change this for 10 years. now america want to go to war these planthuggers walking down london isnot going to change this. these people who dream of moral intuitions, international laws and human rights are lacking of reality. thos who make the laws can break them-there is no inforcement agency-in this world anyway. instead of this confusion about this law and that report let us put it plainly: please let america go ahead and get our oil or whateverelse and then move on. iraq has had its share of suffering already. you are delaying the execution- the wait is killing us more than the eventual death. Iraq has to be reborn. (as an american colony?- the whole world is already one- only the lefty are waiting for a mr benn article in the guardian to prove it). i too oppose american imperialism -at the moment we are dying of it. after a war i will march against the WtO in baghdad if i can , for that is excatly how you are opposing this imperialism at the moment. do not expect me to die for your princip[les while you at best walk for them.
