and the tendency of nations to be more open to war after an attack
Do you mean AMERICA? And by America do you mean the adult American people. If that’s what you mean you are a liar and a warmonger for sure.
*** War With Iraq: Americans In No Hurry
BY JAIME HOLGUIN OCTOBER 6, 2002 / 5:38 PM / CBS Americans generally support military action against Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, and while most think war is inevitable, there is no rush to begin it, according to a CBS News/New York Times Poll released Sunday.

*** The public overwhelmingly wants to get the United Nations' weapons inspectors back into Iraq and allied support before taking any military action. Americans also want a congressional vote before acting - and think members of Congress should be asking more questions about the implications of war with Iraq.
*** Americans are concerned about the wider implications of war with Iraq. They believe such a war will result in a long and costly military involvement; they believe it will lead to a wider war in the Middle East with other Arab nations and Israel; and that it could further undermine the U.S. economy.
*** Americans are also cool to the doctrine of pre-emption. They believe countries should not be able to attack each other unless attacked first - and less than half of Americans think the U.S., in particular, has the right to make pre-emptive strikes against nations it thinks may attack in the future.
*** Military Action and Weapons Inspections More people now than just two weeks ago favor giving the United Nations more time to get weapons inspectors back into Iraq.
U.S. SHOULD:
*** Now: Take military action soon 30%
Give U.N. weapons inspectors time 63%
*** 2 Weeks Ago:
Take military action soon 36%
Give U.N. weapons inspectors time 57%
So what kind of bullshit is “the tendency of nations to be more open to war after an attack” that you want to talk about?
