#1 "Invisible airplanes and GPS-guided munitions, a cloud of dust from the advancing armor, and a hearty 'Hi Yo Silver!'--it's the Lone Ranger. With his faithful companions Rummy, Condi, and Tony, the daring and resourceful masked rider of the plains led the fight for law and order in the Middle East. Return with us now to those thrilling days of 2003. The Lone Ranger rides again!"

#2 Sweden's Foreign Minister? Is she the one granting asylum to the leaders of Aceh's rebels? Clean your own house ma'am then STFU

#3 Somebody really needs to tell the Europeans that (most) Americans aren't insulted by cries of "cowboy!" and certainly not "lone ranger!" Has no one informed the Swedes that the Lone Ranger acted to bring justice to places where the law did not reach, or where it was corrupt? That he was, in short, a Good Guy? (Oh, how simplisme! The very concept of "good" guys and "bad"!)

#4 Lest we forget the Lone Ranger was a good guy, knocking down bad guys and make the frontier safe for everyone else.

Now where did I put my Winchester silver tips...

#5 Sweden: country of honor. Where were they again in World War II? That's right, they were "neutral" towards the Nazis. NEUTRAL. Can any decent country have been neutral in WWII? Absolutely not and the Swedes have done nothing to redeem themselves since. They're cowards, plain and simple. Someone offer me proof that I'm wrong, and don't give me that bit about how "some" Swedes helped the Jews...where was their GOVERNMENT?

#6 And they were such stalwart warriors as recently as the time of Peter the Great. Let's find out what turns fighters into salmon-eating busy bodies, cheese-eating surrender monkeys, and aquavit-swilling hand-wringers and then absolutely make sure that we never do it here.

#7 the fear is that the United States action (in Iraq) will increase the idea that other countries can act militarily without involving the United Nations

Yeah, so? What's the UN going to do? Nothing as usual.

#8 What an idea! Maybe the saddamites of the world wouldn't be in a position to kill, maim, torture, and terrorize if there were a few more "lone rangers" around to keep them in check. Like the UN pretends it is doing.
