Get real. After 9/11 most Europeans nations were quite ready
to give support to concerted effort to combat terrorism.

Then why give Saddam a pass? Literally no one argued he was being deceptive and
no one could argue his ties to international terrorism. So why did France,
Germany and Belgium jump off the ship at that point?

Elect someone
to the presidency who thinks that having a thought-out policy
actually matters

You're a fool if you think this administration doesn't have a thought-out
policy. I realize GWB isn't a liberal, and you Europeans can't stand that, but
it tends to blind you.

It would help more if they could actually
formulate a policy to deal with the problem, instead of killing
even their friends in Iraq.

And its your informed opinion that they're not doing that? Great, whats the
last cabnit meeting you sat in on? Last Pentagon "Tank"? I thought so.

Try to understand the basics of our legal system. Belgium did NOT
"indict Tommy Franks"

snip a bunch of legalistic crap

Great, he was not indicted, but the problem remains the same. The US is the
universal target for anyones ill feelings, even Belgians it appears. Why would
the US sign up for a "justice" system that had the power to idicted, charge
etc. our serving generals for doing their job, *legally*. The US would spend
millions of US dollars every year defending ourselves in this international
"kangaroo court".

What made the Bush administration incandescent was the law
which granted courts jurisdiction in all crimes against humanity,
regardless of location or the nationality of victim or perpetrator.

Probably the same thing that gave Clinton pause. You anti-Bush Europeans
continue to look ridiculous when you slam Bush for doing the same things
Clinton did, yet you had no issue with him. Clinton refused to sign it for the
reason I stated above, I haven't heard Bush comment on it, but its my guess he
feels the same way.

Clinton and NATO *unilaterally*, without UN approval, bomb Yugoslavia and
eventually send ground forces in to occupy Kosovo. This is acceptable. Bush and
the UK, along with dozens of other nations, invades and removes Hussain from
power with *several* UN resolutions that threaten military action and France,
Germany, Belgium and Russia have a fit. The only country listed there with any
consistancy is Russia, the rest are hipocrits.

Unfortunately, the Bush
government seems to feel that Americans should enjoy universal
immunity from prosecution.

Clinton too...oh forget it....
