A whole counrty felt the brunt of our wrath. We over ran thier country with our military, took out thier government, in the persuit of one man and a handfull of his followers, alot of which werent even citizens of that country. I think if that was to happen here by some other countries military, Id feel the same hatred towards them as the Pakistanis feel toward Americans.People who had nothing to do with the 9/11 attack on us or the people who perpetrated it paid a pretty big price, loss of life, property, thier homes destroyed just because thier government wouldnt give into pressure from our government.

You said " Without war there can be no peace" If war were obliterated, wouldnt the only thing left be peace?
As far as my progression I think I learned the hard way that the use of force is not generally accepted in our society and is seen as a regression instead of progression. Cave men used sticks, modern man benefits by diplomacy. I do agree that there are time where force is necessary but do not agree that the Situation in Iraq requires force at this time. Sadam isnt threatening us or any one else, he is allowing the inspections and it seems that some of the UN countries feel the same way or im sure they would have taken action long before now, especially since the European countries are in a close proximity to Iraq and have the most to lose by him not disarming.

Questions to you Korp: What is the actual UN resolution?What exactly does it say?Does it give a timetable for Sadam to disarm? If it does why has nothing been done to enforce it before now? Does it give the US permission to act militarily without the full consent of the UN ? Does it define punisiments for non compliance?
I know that I personaly havent read it (the resolution of 12 years ago) have you?

Oh and why is your postion a " solid argument " as you put it but other peoples positions are just "excuses" ? A little narrow minded dont you think for someone thats so "progressed" ?
