i think the usa should disembarass themselves of nukes, for war or peace, too!

we don't want the usa as a global cop.

once we might have been grateful for it, but times have changed, and the discrepancy between the bush administration's rhetoric and actions is huge and growing, whether it be about this issue, or torture, or your own economy and trade deficit, whatever.

simply put, we don't trust your government's intentions are noble.

we'd be gullible fools to think otherwise, imo.

the arab and european 'street' are deeply suspicious of the usa agenda to control dwindling world resources by force.

it's much bigger than just the iran issue, though that is quite emblematic enough to be an excellent example.

trying to have it both ways, whether about the port security, or about nukes being ok in india and pakistan but not iran, only cuts it with a dumbed-down populus and a lying media.

i can't speak for the arabs, but in europe we get more reality in the media (even if still not nearly enough).

so does it really surprise you, our attitude?

i'm now on record....lol!

i keep wondering why you enjoy this blog, you seem so contrarian a lot of the time.

i like the contrast though, cheers.
