Hi, Neither can I. If this happens--I'll not think the UN has any relevance or credibility. The only thing I can possibly imagine <wry look> is that in our wiretapping, Cheney or someone discovered some interesting things about him (or any other UN people) and are looking to have Halliburton or its subsidiaries acquire another contract. This is simply almost too much for me to deal with, too. We are not just going to be Corporate America--but Corporate World! Bet we still have wars, though--too much money to be made to have peace...
