Re: [OT] Another heated discussion about the Iraq siutation, war and politics.
Let's get enumerated.
1. You can reach just about everywhere that's important from Iraq by air. Then look at the countries it borders, look at the countries they border. It even has a port. You just can't ask for anything better.
2. The WDM move, that's why the inspectors couldn't find them. Now the countryside is chaotic, and it is difficult to tell anything. The WMD could have been moved to Syria, could have been buried, could still be on the move. We shall see.
3. There was no proof. Bush never said there was. It was cleverly, almost, kind of implied, but they never out and out said it. The press did, for sure, but they misreport many things. It is easily believable that they were meant ot misreport this.
4. Well, if he told you he wasn't going to do that he lied. Please show me where he told you that, I really would like to see it.
5. What _should_ we do about Korea? We _cannot_ invade them, so we're hardly missing the troops currently in Iraq, etc. We have to wait for their old ally, China, to put pressure on them. Fortuneatly, China wishes North Korea did not have Nuclear Weapons, because it is certain to mean nukes in South Korea, Japan, and other places China doesn't want them.
6. Skipped, see 1.
7. Because it is theirs? Not sure what you're looking for here. Again it is a question of "what can we do?", the only way to keep the Shia sect from having some sort of power is to opress them. Despite many things here said, that really isn't the U.S. game.
