Nearly a million people are marching in the UK against war. (http://www.bbc.co.uk) Cowards.

Unfortunately, I feel that action is preferable over appeasement. The UN is nearly in the same situation as the League of Nations was in the 1930s.

There is a saying: "Those who do not know history are forever destined to repeat it."

A history teacher thought that up to keep his kids awake (not that it isn't true)

David! You're SO ANNOYING! Why are they cowards simply because they don't want war. ARGH! What the junk is wrong with you? Just because they don't feel that war is the absolute best option they're cowards, eh? That's like saying you're on a diet because you'll only eat chocolate ice cream with whip cream and a cherry! Do you understand?

The problem is, if the UN doesn't do anything then the US will by itself and that will cause global political ramifications into the very distant future. This is not the wild west, we are not Clint Eastwood, we do not just roam around and shoot whoever we want to. Sure Iraq has broken treatise, but those are by the UN and NOT the US! We don't have any jurisdiction as a nation, only under the UN do we have any kind of authority to attack Iraq for breaking them!!!
