I think the surrender terms were to the United Nations not the United States.
#2. Iraq attempted to assasinate a former American President.
Prove it and show the proof
#3. Iraq has fired upon, almost daily, for almost 11 years, USA military forces.
They were flying over Iraqi air space and had the effect of a flea on an elephant.
#4. Iraq is believed to have, or are acquiring, or are attempting to acquire WMD's. The USA will not allow that.
Believed in not enough. Prove it and show the proof
#5. Iraq has, on multiple occassions called for Americans, to be killed where ever they are found. Thus they are a sworn enemy of the USA.
No freedom of speech from you then.
The US is saying lets go kill Iraqi's.
#6. Iraq is a strategic piece of real estate for future military operations against our enemies in the region, which number in the 100's of millions.
Plus it has lot's of oil, getting close to the truth here.
#7. Iraq is a strategic piece of real estate for its oil fields and for the surrounding oil fields, for as the worlds oil supplies dwindle the USA will be in a position to control the dwindling oil supplies for its use and the use of its European allies.
Getting very close to the truth here.
#8. A take over of Iraq sends a very powerful signal to the other countries in that area of the world that if they don't get their act together they will be next.
A simple answer from some one who has been watching to many Bruce Willis movies.
Iraq is a soveriegn state and like it or not you cannot just invade a country and kill people because you do not like them. You need to prove they are a threat beyond reasonable doubt before you start to execute people.
This will not be a war that will be won in a few weeks of carpet bombing and a quick military land assault. Afghanistan has proved that. If Bushes record on there is anything to go on he should stay out of interrnational politics.
This is not something that will be won in a few weeks, after the defeat of Iraq, which the extremist want, the terrorist will use it as propoganda to recruit kids to do their dirty work. You do not win this kind of war by killing people.
Don't believe me? Look on a map and see where Islam is the major religion and then go to the local "Catholic Irish" bar and ask their opinions on Protestants. That war only went on for a few hundred years. And the Protestants did everything they could to put the Catholics down.
Bush thinks he can open Pandoras box and close it again in 6 months. The man is a fool. That is more frightening than Sadaam.

Its Iraqs job to prove they have destroyed those weapons, I dont know about you but I for one dont want a mass murderer dictator having enough bio/chem weapons to kill millions. And BTW what country do you think pays the burden of funding the UN? |
