Why not drop the sanctions outright, and than insist on the Un inspectors returning?
Because my country is greedy and still believe it can have some of the loot. Get real, Chirac, we lost. End of story. Better look for ways to be in good relationship with rebuilt Iraq.
Why is it critical to tie this together, when France certifed that Iraq should be sanction free since 1998?
I don't think it is considered 'critically tied'. France calls at the same time for the sanctions' suspension (basically, to drop them since they won't be reenacted as long as the US doesn't want to) and for the continuation of UN inspections. Where is the problem in involving the UN in Iraq's disarmament ? It's not like the presence of inspectors mean the Iraqis will continue to starve.
Why do they NOW insist sanctions NOt be lifted outright, yet pushed for EXACTLY that when Saddam was still in charge?
Because of Chirac's delusions that it is still possible to have the UN not to be spitted upon. It is also essential for Chirac to let the US keep its importance, because he loves his veto power.
My answer is I don't trust France or the inspectors the UN sent, a third party should be formed.
You're right not to trust France, its diplomacy is guided by greed and political opportunism (whose doesn't ?). However, I fail to see what source would be more reliable than the UN to provide inspectors. The UN is this wonderful place where countries' egoisms are articulated, and as such, it is the less biased organism in the world, since it gets influenced by everyone

Agathon - in the long run, the US government IS the American people. The American people most assuredly aren't all conspiring to annex Cuba. Some of the current administration may be, but I find even that hard to swallow.
Not annex. They just want another US friendly regime. The Cuban people certainly don't.
And the US government is the American people? I don't swallow that one - the US government is the creation of special interests more like it.

You are a caution.

Tass, why don't you attempt to just talk to me, WITHOUT the rhetoric?
I would be interested in what you had to say, but forget playing the cold war game, I used to do it with your elders above the artic circle, back in the ol days.
Your easy meat ol buddy.

I suppose there is a first time for everything.
I believe Saddam because his position is backed up by logic and reason...David Floyd i'm an ignorant greek...MarkG

No one cares about Cuba.
They'll implode all on their lonesome.

Would the Cubans be better off under Castro or another US supported Batista like regime, since these are the only realistic options?
Would they be better off with their great health system and world class education, or by having their children working in sweatshops for 2 cents an hour sewing Mickey Mouse pyjamas for Disney?
