Gmat,

Here's the latest CNN poll on the American peoples feelings about war with Iraq.

64% are in favor of war and the use of ground troops to disarm Iraq and remove Saddam. They report that is up from 59% last week.

43% of Americans fear a increase in terrorism if we go to war.
But
50% fear a increase in terrorism if Saddam is left in power.

I found that one rather interesting, if also kind of strange.

51% think Saddam was involved in 9/11.

And last 88% believe Saddam has been shown to hold WMD.

Just a take on the most recent polling here. The fact that this poll seems to agree with many of my own beleifs in no way means I have anymore faith in polls.

BigBen,

I don't see how you feel the cuban people can be well represented at the UN, or anywhere else, by those apponited by and serving Fidel.
Such a "representative" is hardly going to report Fidel's human rights abuses. So in effect the Cuban people have no representative at all (my take on it).

Yet your second post leaves me thinking now you were addressing perhaps the fact of the UN's disregard of Fidel's treatment of his people?????????? After rereading your last post addressing Cuba I'm a bit unsure just what you are getting at.
