    Time for the USA to stew in its own juices

    At the start of the War to Liberate Iraq (didn't Hitler use similar language when he grabbed Czechoslovakia and Poland?),

    Bush and company announced that the U.N. belonged to the dustbin when it refused to rubberstamp Bush's war of conquest. Bush labeled France, Germany and other countries as old fuddy-duddies when they declined the honor of being part of the Coalition of the Willing. Now, at this late date, Bush wants the U.N. to clean up the royal mess that the USA created!? It would be very appropriate if the U.N. told us that we, the entire USA, are totally financially and morally repsonsible for rebuilding Iraq no matter how long it takes and that failure to fully rebuild this country would result in war crimes charges for all levels of the American government.
