Two votes were held, the first drawn up by the "rebels" who are against the governments stance of war against Iraq. The second was was a vote supporting the government's position. Blair won both votes, the second by a substancial margin.

[Xenon]

Tony Blair has some balls man.....

 

[Poseidon X]

those who have faith will always triumph, well except for saddam

 

[cfr3]

Mad respect for Blair.

 

[Neoplasia]

I have to agree, it takes a lot of guts to push forward something you deeply feel is right in the face of huge opposition. But in the end I think the numbers speak for themselves, most do believe in Blair and what he is doing. Kudos.

 

[RhomZilla]

Yepps.. Blair got balls of an elephant. He's in the only other country who truely got our back. Not to mention he's even closer to where the war is.

 

[Neoplasia]

You guys seen the list of 30 that are currently backing the US? It's quite an interesting list.

 

[red devils red]

just imagine those that arent on the list that will back us,isreal,kuwait ,jordan,and many other middle east countries. i think now that fidel would try to get on that list just to be cool,lol

 

[Neoplasia]

Well there is reportedly another 15 sitting on the fence.

 

[Xenon]

Yeah I heard 15 are not prepared to say publicly they will back us.

 

[ProdigalMarine]

hey can we trade bush for blair?

...got mad respect for mr. blair....i'll take a bullet for him anytime, anywhere!

 

[Ms_Nattereri]

Yeah I heard 15 are not prepared to say publicly they will back us.

Why wouldnt they be prepared? I dont see why its so wrong for them to publically announce it...they swear as if something bad is going to happen to them.

John- Id say Bush is doing pretty damn good thus far...I mean if it were any other president...I dont think we'd be going through this...

 

[Neoplasia]

How about Cretien for Blair? No, I wouldn't do that to the Brits.

 

[ProdigalMarine]

.....other countries fear that the war might have a giant backlash in the future....ie: more lethal terrorist attacks on their country, and possible anti-american hatred might fall upon them

If the terrorist hate Americans, theyll attack America, not one of its allies, usually. And IF they do attack one of them, we'll have their [our allies'] back. Were not like the French and turn our backs on countries that have supported us in the past.

again the keyword phrase here is "And IF they do attack one of them,"..........most of the countries do not want to be attacked just because they sided with the US, most countries want to go on about their daily lives without worrying about a stupid plane crashing into their buildings, a packaged full of bio/chem weapons, or etc

Cowards! We're not affraid to say who we support. Our supporters know damn well that if anything were to happen to them that we'd go in and protect them...like we do with any other country that calls on us for help when they're in need of it.

because we have all the resources to defend ourselves as well as the other country....most countries don't have the luxury of having all the resources that the US has to defend itself.....so they aren't cowards, they're thinkin about their citizens

 

[Ms_Nattereri]

In some cases I can see where that is plausible...but in all other cases...I just dont see it
