While I appreciate the world banding together, it is interesting to note 
that nothing effective was done about the USS Cole some months ago.  We 
heard a similar sabre rattling committment to "justice", but yet no visible 
signs of progress.  Australia is willing to join the coalition over the 
death of several citizens, but yet when a US warship was directly attacked, 
the US stood aside.  Sad comment about the US... and a strong statement 
about the rest of the world and their concern over the recent events.

Obligatory: outside the ME-l charter...
