The US airbase here in Frankfurt is full of Galaxy transport planes. Combined with the news a few weeks ago that the US Navy was renting commercial container ships, I fear that the war against Iraq has already been decided upon.

Meanwhile, Tony Blair prepares the world to the coming war by detailing evidence of the Iraqi program to develop weapons of mass destruction. I just wonder whether the US and UK will get the UN resolution they seek, or if they will just go ahead and attack Iraq anyway.

As an aside: Whatever happened to declarations of war? Those seem to be really out of fashion these days.
