Default Re: [OT] Another heated discussion about the Iraq siutation, war and politics.

Hey does anyone remember the League of Nations? The precusor to the United Nations. It proved to be an all talk no action group. Their failer lead to WW2. Today the United Nations is not so different. It is no suprize that the French and Russians are against this war in Iraq? They have economic deals that might fall apart. They have the most to lose. They could care less that Sadam is murdering his own people provided France gets paid.

Iraq has been building weapons of mass destruction for over 20 years. Anyone wonder why they tried to build a nuke reactor in the 80's. That wasn't for power. They wanted the bomb. Now imagine them having nukes when the Gulf War started.

The world has given Iraq over 12 years to comply. In that time they rebuilt their forces and chem/bio weapons. Yep VX gas. I'd say this stuff is worse then a nuke. It breaks just about every treaty out there. But what else changed? Terror strategies changed. 9/11 woke the US up. These rogue states that support these terror Groups now have a way to get at America. And countries like Iraq can support them and play dumb. So now the US has to strike. If we don't it only encourages these terror strikes. We took down Afganistan because of this. Iraq is next.

I say it was a mistake for Allies to not invade Iraq when they had the chance in 1991. It may have stablized the whole region. The biggest mistake of the Bush Sr Presidency.
