Much Iraqui, American, British and Australian blood will be spilled if it
happens.

Being critical of George W. Bush (like Arne is) is no anti-Americanism. Like
being critical of Israel for violating human rights and UN-resolutions is
not anti-Semitism.

We're not involved in the oil business and Bush won't get a coalition
because the US hasn't been attacked by terrorists this time.

Russia has no interest in a new Iraqui government, France no interest in a
new war and the Germans simply won't participate because they've learned
that a pre-emptive war is no answer.

Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and others will leave the anti-terror
coalition.

Mr. Bush has to go to war with others this time, but illegally and against
the majority of the UN. The current blackmailing is a very dangerous course.
In my opinion it's time to cancel the veto-right of the five permanent
members of the security council.

This is pro-Americanism. I love America, I'm grateful for getting rid of the
nazis, feeding the starving European population, for implementing
parliamentary democracy over here after WW II, for Rock'n Roll, free speech
and all the other positive things.
