BTW: America is old Europe

In a moment if critizism Jack Straw reminded Germany that it has signed the 1441 resolution and therefore should not be too explicit ruling out military action. Good to know, Jack! Needles to point out that U.S. and Great Britain have signed the UN charter as well – and that is ruling out military action without UN mandate.

And for some reason the UN carta doesn’t define such a thing as “preventive war”.

I don’t know – do you know? America is a problem. Iraq is a problem.
