*should* be.


How can they not be, given the evidence?


Because they beleive the spin made by the Bush regime and the USA media as
well as the Democrats and conveniently forget what the USA's true allies had
been telling it all along.

Where the UN failed in in the security council trying to pass a resolution
calling the invasion illegal the day after it began. The USA and UK would have
vetoed it, and it could have then gone to the general assembly for general vote.

Kofi Anan could have then gone on USA TV stating categorically that the USA
has absolutely no UN mandate to invade Iraq and that because Iraq had not
attacked the USA, there were no laws that would allow a country to
pre-emptively attack another. Anan may have lost his job next time his
mandante needs to be renewed by members (where the USA has a lot of
influence), but he may have had sufficient impact to make the US media and
the democratic party turn against the Bush regime.

But right now, nothing will be done until the US elections. And unless the
democrats really start to attack the Bush regime for its lies and mistakes on
Iraq, the regime will either be re=elected, or will be thrown out without any
impeachement or legal repercussiosn for their illegal actions and lies.
