Maybe you should take that same faith you have in foreign leadership, and apply it to YOUR country. I am not saying that Bush is an extaordinary president, but give the man credit. He never started this war, it fell into his lap just like those towers fell. I think Powell showed us more than enough....and we have a lot more intelligence...but why forfeit our sources to satisy hippies like yourself? And I agree France & Germany do not have idiots ruling their country. Why would the rulers of France & Germany want us to go to war with a country that gives them special "rates" on oil. There is a lot of illegal dealings going on that people do not realize. If we invade Iraq, France & Germany will suffer financially. And I never said disarming Iraq would stop terrorist cells, but just MAYBE it will hinder the chance of a nuke going off in downtown Manhattan killing people by the millions.
