Prior to 1998 the UN inspectors did destroy large amounts of chemical/biological weapons. Then they were ordered out of Iraq by Bill Clinton. Since they came in again, Iraq agreed to unconditionally allow their operations, and Hans Blix said that although they were making progress, it would take about a year or two to completely examine every facility with the current amount of inspectors. France and Germany wanted to triple the number of inspectors, but the US halted that initiative in the security council (which it btw, uses only when it suits american interests). No evidence so far has been found of WOMDs. The only Iraqi breach of UN regulations was Al-Salamoud (or whatever it's spelled) missile that could travel 80 kilometers longer than was allowed. Half of those missiles were destroyed in few days prior to the attack.
Also, let's see this disarmament from the Iraqi perspective. On one side, they are told to disarm, while on the other, they are bombed every single day by the American and British forces in the no-fly zone. Then they're threatened by war, and at the same time must allow spy planes to fly over Iraq and get clear pictures of their military facilities. Bush claimed Saddam has chemical and biological weapons, but so far has not given any evidence of those existing, nor has he helped the UN inspectors in locating the whereabouts of those weapons he is so certain Saddam has. He attacked regardless of having no evidence, regardless of the fact Hans Blix said Iraqi disarmament was progressing in a good way, and regardless of the UN security council. He didn't even try to present his case to the UN. It's funny how Bush is on one side attacking to protect the interests of the UN, while on the other breaching the UN resolution on the very same matter. |

Saddam has been messing around down there for years now. He has had plenty of time to cooperate, unfortunately he chooses not to, or does the bare minimum at the last minute.
It’s not just about the minor details in all these UN reports. He tries to take too much advantage of these little points. He knew the consequences if he failed to cooperate. All the deadlines have been postponed time and time again. Eventually, one must see this isn't going to work.
To put it simple:
He has had plenty of time to cooperate, but fails to do so and now he must pay the price. |

ok here are a couple of questions...
1. Why should Iraq disarm??what about USA???why can only USA have nukes and other weapons of mass destruction?
2. Wheres the proof that Iraq has violated the UN resolution 1441?
3. What makes America think they should interfere in the politics of any other country? who interferes in USA's politics? |
1. Because it's usually believed that having such a huge country with such weapons can be seen as a deterant to rogue coutries, who would love nothing more than sending a few nukes for the sheer hell of doing it. That and the fact that most of these "rouge" countries have no respect for human life
2.IRAQ hasnt disarmed - they can get rid of all the small range missiles they want, they know its a bull method of "complying" with the UN. America and Britain have the receipts for some of the weapons wanted in question, IRAQ has no proof the got rid of them, so they havent complied.
3.Iraq is seen as a threat to the US, and Sadamn is a dictator beyond belief, hence, get rid of him. |

It's only been about two months or so since the inspectors are in Iraq and so far they haven't found anything. But have you for one second considered the possibility that Saddam indeed doesn't have any of those weapons? So how is he going to prove he doesn't have them unless he lets the UN inspectors in and lets them see for themselves, and that's exactly what he did. |

1. Iraq scientists have said UN will never find them, no matter how hard they look
2. Iraq cant prove that the weapons they did have no longer exist
3. They've lied before, they'll do it again.
Dont get me wrong, I wish they didnt have any, but I dont believe them for a second. |

| I know they might still have them. But it's easier to prove they do have them then to prove they don't. |
