walts: You didn't address the factual things I mentioned (UN inspector, no records of biological weapons being used), and the fact that you took preventative pills doesn't indicate that anything biological was used.

emerald: I agree, there are many many things that happened that we are not told about. However, it would be in the Bush administration's best interests to let us know that chemical/biological weapons were used in order to receive further support for the war.

The fact that they have not openly said that biological or chemical weapons were used is proof intself that there is no way they were used, because that fact would probably push the UN (and other countries) to support the war.

The reason most countries in the UN don't support the war is that there is no proof that Saddam has any biological or chemical weapons, and they don't consider him a threat because he has never used them in the past.

Going into Iraq based on the assumption that there are weapons of mass descruction, and with the second assumption that Saddam will not co-operate with diss-armament does not seem like a logical or justified cause.

If we can create wars based on the assumption that they have weapons (even though professional inspectors say there are not) we could push that assumption onto any country.

You're right Decius, it would be in the Bush administrations best intrest to tell of any know chemical/biological weapons that there are now or were 10 yrs ago. But as I have said we weren't there and we don't know what is going on now. There are so many things that the politicians don't say. Maybe Bush is blowing smoke out his ... I don't know. I do know that there is something over there that has Bush fired up. I can agree that Saddam would've been prepared for a search for weapons and would know where they would looked for, so he would hide decoys there and the real thing elsewhere where we wouldn't find them. I also know from being a military brat that about 99% of what happened 10 yrs ago over there walts can not talk about. It's all highly confidential, even 10 yrs later. I'm with walts on this one. Let's go over there and end this thing once and for all as we should have done when we were there before!

Yes it has and I pray that this time they FINISH the job so that 10 yrs from now we are not in this same position with Iraq again. Hopefully other countries that think we are push overs will think differently now. I also say that something should be done about Afganstan and the attack they made on us 1 1/2 ago!!!!!

Most people who think they know why they support the war don't have enough information, let alone the patriots that support it solely because Bush thinks it's a good idea.

What I don't get is how can you condemn a country like Iraq for disobeying UN regulations, and base your entire reason for blowing them up on defying UN regulations while you blowing them up is, in itself, a dissobediance of UN regulations?

It's illogical to support the war. It's being done in the name of blatent contradiction, whether you're an American or not.

i seriously doubt anyone in the world thinks USA is a push over...

i agree with Decius. it's illogical to support this war and the rest of the United Nations knows it.

Wrong, other countries do think we are pushovers but not because there’s logic behind it just because they think we are “war mongers” It doesn’t matter what we do the only way they are happy is if we nuke ourselves. I will say it again for the millionth time this war is a good thing. We have been pushovers for the last 11 years, and now we are doing something about it. I say if they don’t believe us when we say were going to do something, we should do it 3 fold. Ooo ya and that’s not just a Childs point of view. Although I am but a child in many people’s eyes, my information is solid and my mind is loaded.
