Stardate 20030210.1415 (Captain's log): It's beginning to appear as if the revelation over the weekend of the new French/German plan for delaying war in Iraq was premature, and that it has given us a chance to largely nullify most of the hazard it represented,...

Stardate 20030307.1529 (On Screen): I think that France and Germany gave up hope of preventing us from actually going to war quite a while ago. What they've been angling for in the recent past is to avoid any kind of straight up-or-down vote about...

Stardate 20011128.1700 ( On Screen ): One of the most striking aspects of the war we are currently fighting is the lack of contribution from the European Allies of the United States. Article 5 of NATO was invoked, and yet when actual hostilities began it was the US which did it,...
