So since it may have happened, we invade the entire country, costing us upwards of a trillion dollars, creating a new center for terrorists, pissing off more of our enemies and most of our friends? Because he may have given money to AQ?

Being an ex-pat, it's difficult for me to get too involved with American politics, I can't even vote, yet.
So I'm looking at it from a UK perspective as well, as we are 'hand in glove with each other'
I'm wondering if the other ex-pats on here would support the 'ribbon thing' which was after all the original thread.
I'm also a bit our of touch with the UK and am not sure if there is an equivalent.
As I've said, as a'newbie' I can't get too involved but the fact is there has just been an election and the 'majority' voted to keep Bush in power.
Tony Blair will get his chance at the polls in a few months.

Unfortunatelty I think you're right. Always been a Conservative myself, but we haven't had a good leader since Mrs T although JM wasn't as bad as the idiots since.
At least Mrs T's son is about to sign for Fulham !!!
