Collateral Damages
Mr saddam played with the Un for 12 years.
If he was a little smart, seeing how france and russia were against this war; he would have played the UN a little more and could have milked the UN inspections for a few more week into the summer, therefore rendering any war plan obsolote until next winter.
obviously he is not too smart. He does not care about his people. He'd rather have a few hundred thousand of his people die rather than run with his few hundred millions of dollars stashed away.
The reason for this war may not be very clear, and is most likely something we will never know.
It is quite clear that this war is not entirely for the US and UK to take over france's oil contracts; otherwise the US and Uk would go to war against all oil countries which have contracts with france and germany.
It is quite clear that this war is not entirely for iraq's refusal to obey Un resolutions, otherwise the US and UK would go to war against all countries which do not respect UN resolutions.
It is quite clear that this war is not entirely because of iraq's harboring terrorist organisation, otherwise the US and UK should immediaely attack syria, lybia, iran, north korea, sudan and somalia.
It is quite clear that this war is not entirely for iraq's involvement in the 9/11 tragedy as there are no clear proofs they were involved.
This war may be a combination of all the above reason plus another one that will never be known.
Loss of innocent life is tragic, however; it is saddam hussein who is putting his population through this.
he's held power for almost 30 years now, he has accumulated almost 2 billions dollars. If he truely cared for his people he would be gone by now.
This is not a black and white thing here, we are in the mist of the gray.
Most diplomatic matters are neither black or white, they are gray.
