CNN Headline News says (no link, I heard it on the radio) that the New York City Council's imminent resolution opposing a war with Iraq "became entangled in politics" almost immediately after it was first drafted. Here's a clue: A city council resolution about a war? That is politics.

I've heard that the combined armed forces of Vilnius Ten countries (Lithuania, Latvia, Slovakia, etc... the folks who signed that letter in the Wall Street Journal n months back) are slightly smaller than the NYC police department.

So if the NYC govt were to actually join the war effort, this could, like, double our allies with one stroke of a pen... or something
