Another Gin Rummy
Let me understand this Mr. Rumsfeld. You do not want to support NATO's new building. You are offended that Belgium allows war crimes trials of foreign leaders. Specifically you are miffed that among the accused are our own Secretary of State Colin Powell and General Tommy Franks.


Would you Mr. Rumsfeld be more supportive if Americans were not on the list? Are you offended over Belgium allowing war crime trials, or over possible trials against our government?


You and Bush are ever eager to accuse others of manipulating policies as politics. Yet here you are doing exactly what you accuse other of doing. Politics - as usual. "Sorry Belgium, you don't play by our rules - no money for you."


But let bin Laden or Hussein get caught and put on trial for war crimes in Belgium, Hell!, we'll build them a new building out of gold.
