[Atrocities]

What you fail to understand, Atrocities, is the concept of INTERNATIONAL LAW. Just because there is currently no offical 'world government' doesn't mean that there is no standard of right and wrong in international affairs. It's not a question of anyone wanting to 'keep Saddam in power' it's a question of the appropriate legal right to attack him. The US is violating all standards of international law in this obsessive quest to depose a tin-horn dictator. Many people who were afraid of Saddam Hussein are now afraid of the US instead. Think about that.

I see, so because those in inforce the international laws fail to do so, we here in America must pay the price. I am afraid that will not do when you try and consult a greiving family after many of their relatives were killed by a terrorist attack that leveled a city or worse, killed a million via a biological weapon. Ya, international law that protects the criminal, and limits the victims right to respond or prevent such an attack is not worth inforcing.

The UN is a joke. It has always been a joke. You should see what countries a scheduled to lead what programs at the UN this year and next. That will surprise you. Libia for example.

The UN members feel that it is OK to leave a man who would develope and sell weapons of mass destruction in a position to do so out of fear that the OIL prices will go to high. That is just sick and wrong. They are afraid to act because they think he is a good guy, no they are afraid to act because they know he is not.

They fear that he already has the means to destroy the oil fields if threatened. The US is fearful of this as well, but has no choice. The time to remove him has come. BEFORE he sells his biological weapons or technology to a terrorist group.

The world is largely for peace, I am for peace, but I am not willing to allow that desire for peace to prevent me from being informed as to why we must remove a dangerous man like Saddam from power.

People who fear the US should. They absolutely should. If they are training, harbering, or planning a terrorist attack against us, we will no longer, or at least until a democrat is elected, turn the other cheek.

This is not a war against the IRAQ people, but a war against thier insaine leadership. A leadership that has promised to kill its own people rather than allowing them to live without it.

And the UN would stand by. Hey wait, that is what the UN does well doesn't it, just stand by.

If I was Ted Turner, I would tell the UN to take a hike on that Billion he promised them. They are not worth the investment.
