Well, that's one thing we all agree on!
Reviewing my comments on Cuba: actually, I believe that it was the US that imposed trade sanctions, not the UN. As for representation, I meant that the government of Cuba is represented, not its people. Normally, any citizen would be able to write to the UN, but I have a feeling that the UN doesn't receive too many letters from Cuba...
In any case, the morning update is that Bush has had it with the UN, and will initiate an attack on Iraq, with the UK , Spain, Portugal, and maybe even Australia as supporters (physical or moral).
I believe that Bush will make every attempt to bypass Congress to initiate this "peace keeping" effort, as he'll probably call it.
Otherwise, France and Russia have made it clear that they will not support this action, and that diplomacy should still be first in line, at least at this time.
Time to catch up on the news...
