American Idiot

quoting hedgemon "iraq was not a threat to the USA but they did break a resolution and the pussy filled UN wouldnt do ne thing about it so we did. and kuwait and quatar both wanted sadamm go so theres ur neighbor theory out the window. " First of all, you just admitted that Iraq was not a threat to us. And how do you bring up the UN? Do we only use them when it is suitable to us? Israel has broken resolution upon resolution yet we do nothing. We ignore resolutions too, so how do we use the excuse that Iraq broke a resolution to invade them. Also, security council resolution 678 was passed in the first gulf war to allow any means necessary to stop Saddam. That resolution only applied to the first gulf war. The one we use now to defend our actions, resolution 1441 does not have the same wording that calls for necessary measures to stop Iraq.

Also, saying that Qatar and Kuwait wanted Saddam out is like saying Cuba and Mexico want Bush gone so they get the rest of the world to invade the US and say they felt threatened. fool.. If they really felt threatened then they should have done something about it themselves. Think about it, did we spend billions upon billions of dollars, and thousands of troops because the poor people of iraq couldn't vote?

I agree that something needed to be done about Saddam. But is systematic genocide of the Iraqi civlian population the answer?

And no, there are not any weapons of mass destruction. We admitted that the other day. They were all destroyed either by the Iraqi government, by UN weapons inspectors, and by our bombings of 1998.

I don't know who is more annoying, extreme liberals or extreme convervatives. about yorur remarks about "rowing up in a safe world without pshyco leaders of unstable nations possessing nuclear and biological weapons you will all thank george bush." These weapons being in the hand of George Bush are the most dangerous thing to this world. Keep in mind that we are the only ones ever to use a nuclear weapon. I only fear that with these irrational wars that our children won't be able to grow up in a safe world. Killing all those who might be a threat instead of diplomatic solutions will eventually turn the entire world against us more than it is now. These wars only build up more anger towards us. This same rhetoric was used in the Vietnam war, about how if Vietnam fell the world would fall to the communists, so we ended up killing 4 million people in south east asia. Let's not commit the same crimes once again.
