war is the only way out. iraq had in 12 years to disarm and they never bothered doing it. they deceived the inspectors, didnt comply with any orders and lied shamelessly. if the un council would still negotiate to pass a in resolution, this thing would drag forever. and its not like us is doing this by themselves. they have support of over 30 countries. and like stated before, france will join if iraq uses chemical weopons, which they will. so there is a great hope that other allies might join too.
i was watching a tv program yesterday about the iraq crisis . and this guy named paul wolfowitz, who's a deputy secretary of defence wrote a doctrine 12 years ago, expressing that the us will democratize the middle east, starting with iraq, then moving on to north korea, iran and other islam countries,. the doctrine was unsupported and not popular with the george bush administration at that time, because they didnt want to take this matter alone on their shoulders and were scared that they wouldn't have the world's confidence to back that idea up. and it never gained any interest and was thrown away. although it was a very ambitious one. however after september 11th, the george w bush administration turned back to that doctrine and made it clear that they would follow that policy stated there. i added this is cuz i thought it was interesting. |
Yes I saw that same documentary. It was two camps within Bush's administration. The "Hawk's" ie Wolfowitz who were more Regan like in terms of how they would try and change the world through its policies and then there is the other side of things, ie Powell who takes more of a management roll in the world and try to better guide certain countries toward a specific path, instead of trying to CHANGE IT (ie making assumptions of what is right/wrong in terms of Governments). I would take Powells side...managing the world is better than going and trying to outright change it. |

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) the US is not a threat to its neighboring countries
2) He was suposed to allow inspectors in at their convience instead he made them wait till either he wanted them in. Or it was convient for them..
3) Saddam harbors terrorist and they are a direct threat to the US if he wishes to support terrorism, he will pay the price...
On another note i was just thinking about this if the US were to shut down trade with all the other countries of the world, im sure most of the world would sink into a depression...I think a lot of people dont realize how many american good are exported and how man goods are imported into the country and with out these trades which most countries rely on...they would have nothing..... |

War in the Gulf began today with pre-emptive missile strikes targeted at Saddam Hussein and other Iraqi leaders.

It would be cool if they killed saddam and most of the leaders last night, then the war would be pretty much over in less than a day.
