Re: [OT] Another heated discussion about the Iraq siutation, war and politics.
Jimbob:
The amount of time that was reasonable would be the excact amount of time the people conducting the investigation (Blix & Co.) thougth they would need. If GWB was unwilling to give this time, why bother with inspections in the first place ?
1) I have never claimed I was against using "threat of force". Just missusing it.
2) If he have any WMDs (and for the record, I believe he has something (not nukes) stashed away somewere), he probably would have given them up if the pressure was big enough. He would never have dissarmed totaly as that would have been suicide in a country like Iraq.
The trouble is not to find good reasons NOT to go to war, but to find good reasons to go to war. When in doubt, war should be your Last choice.
