Last week Tony Blair seemed to be ready, willing and able to let the British "pay our
death toll"
I just couldn`t believe my ears - Bill, or any UK extropian: correct me if I'm wrong
with my quotation - though more than 70 % of the English vote against an Iraq invasion.
I know it must sound naive, but it`s so disgusting to hear a respected man say these
words knowing that he himself will not loose a single drop of blood, leaving this to the
young boys.

In Germany we have more than 80 % of the population against this war.Chancellor
Schroeder and Secretary of State Fischer repeat it every day: there will be no war
machinery support from Germany if USA/UK goes against Iraq.
