Has everyone forgotten the burning oil rigs? Or the Iraqi convoy of Mercedes Benz filled with stolen television sets?
If someone walked up to your girlfriend, punched her in the face, and then raped her, would you just walk away?
The US is enforcing the UN resolutions with the no fly zones, and the fucking Iraqis are taking potshots at us. They are firing at us; That?s grounds for war right there.
Iraq should be lucky to enjoy what Japan has now after WWII. They would be a lot better off.

its not an issue of what was forgotten. you are talking about a middle east full of weak and unstable governments and monarchys facing collapse.. and the opinion of european countries who have known 2000 years of war, death, destruction, conquering and being conquered and have an almost reflexive tendancy to not fight at any cost.
Though Iraq is clearly in the wrong... you cant expect international support by beginning the conversation with: "this is what we are going to do and fuck you if you dont like it"
