| Time polling: The Biggest Threat To Peace |
| 2003-02-17 |
| Which country really poses the greatest danger to world peace in 2003? A striking poll action by Time magazine Who really poses the greatest danger to world peace? Iraq and North Korea are certainly high on President Bush's list though Iraq is still working hard to deny him a reason to attack. A 12,000-page report on its nuclear, chemical and biological programs has been given to the United Nations but Bush and his dependable friend Tony Blair say they have "solid evidence" that Saddam is lying and have called for weapons inspection teams to step up their work. Meanwhile, as the fuel rods go in and UN inspectors go away, the specter of a nuclear-armed North Korea is keeping the reclusive regime on everybody's radar. Washington and Pyongyang are talking tough but is the biggest danger to peace closer to home? European antagonism towards Bush's robust stance is now being mirrored in the U.S., with even those he might normally consider his allies now urging caution. So TIME asks you: which country poses the greatest danger to world peace in 2003? North Korea, Iraq, or the USA |

| #6 It is nonsensical to ask about a country already at war being a danger to world peace. |

| #5 Germans might get a little worried though... US to punish German treachery, The Observer reports. "America is to punish Germany for leading international opposition to a war against Iraq. The US will withdraw all its troops and bases from there and end military and industrial co-operation between the two countries - moves that could cost the Germans billions of euros." Smart Americans. Don't invade, anti-invade! |

| #3 So, here's a question for all the Euro-sophisticates out there: If the U.S. is the greatest threat to peace (and I have no doubt that Time's poll will come back with that result), why isn't France hurriedly laying down aircraft carrier keels? Why isn't Germany ratcheting up fighter aircraft production? Why isn't Sweden ringing Stockholm with layer upon layer of anti-aircraft defenses? Oh, that's right. The United States isn't actually going to invade France or Germany or Sweden. Never listen to what a man (or nation) says. Watch how they spend their money. |
