| Who's insane? |

That seems to be the consensus among the critics, that Bush is insane for doing the same over and over in Iraq and after last night's speech it's "the same old story." Let's compare the 'insanity.'
As I pointed out yesterday, the backlash against the US over Somalia has begun. Tom noted the world is now "calling for blue helmet rapists to intervene."
Back in 1992, Boutros Boutros-Ghali called for military intervention in Somalia - now get this - "after traditional U.N. peace-keeping efforts have failed" to control the situation.
The first UN peacekeeping mission was established in 1948 to monitor and keep the peace between Israel and the Arab states. Since then a number of UN peacekeeping missions have taken place there, with armed forces in the Sinai, the Golan Heights, Lebanon and such. That's worked well hasn't it?
In 1949 the UN established the United Nations Military Observer Group to supervise the India and Pakistan ceasefire, and 58 years and thousands of dead later there is still no resolution to the Kashmir conflict.
Korea, Bosnia, Rwanda, the Congo, Sierra Leone, East Timor anyone?
Who's insane, Bush for continuing to press forward in the war on terror in spite of the appeasers and cowards, with the Husseins gone, al-Zarqawi gone, the Taliban out of power, two new functioning albeit delicate democracies? Or the rest of the world for calling on the UN to "keep the peace" in Somalia and the Sudan and rein in Iran and North Korea? That same UN whose history of sanctions, 'deplorings' and 'interventions' (doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result) have done nothing to stop the loss of millions of lives?

Oh, our old buddy Aton, eh? He may be an incorrugible old cuss but he's certainly passionate about it.

Aton is one of the few 'opponents' around here that I'd probably enjoy having a beer with. We'd never agree on anything but we'd have a great time doing it :)
