Ah, Zepp, there you are.

I see you admire people who issue  public apologies.

I was wondering if you still stand by your statements about the
resolution about Iraq - to wit:

They voted to let him [Bush] have a free hand provided he got UN
backing to attack Iraq and if Iraq was an immediate threat to the
security of the United States.

I await your response...
