#1 Of course, he said this in Lebanon, one of the worst of the state sponsors' of terrorism in the Middle East. I'm sure they'd like to see an end to the blood-letting. I would suggest that they pay very close attention to what is happening in Iraq. There are those of us who have never forgotten the blood-letting - and subsequent dancing in the streets - perpetrated on our marines.Those who now demand that we continue to "respect" and underwrite that pack of thugs and back-stabbers that make up the UN are eventually going to have to recognize the little noticed American street - which is thoroughly disgusted with the whole lying system.International law, indeed. When I see them applying this supposed "law" objectively and even-handedly, I'll give it a good think. Otherwise, the hypocracy has been vividly exposed for what it is: the international equivalent of "it depends on what the meaning of 'is' is."

#2 Ummm.....Misha, baby, we ARE stopping the bloodletting by Saddam's thugs.....but it is nice to have a world leader admit that the UN needs to have it's authority restored. (snicker)

#3 gorby is actually quite unpopular in Russia today; having him spout off against us is a positive there; of course there are the idiotarians in the US itself who still worship gorby but their brains are inpenetrable in any case
