Yes, you're right... because it has been shown how much more cooperation Iraq and Al-Queda have than, let's say, Syria (which already has nuclear weapons) and Al-Queda.

The fact is, Saddam Hussein wouldn't give a rat's a** about the US if we would just mind our own business.

Could you post some sources for your statement about syria's nuclear weapons?

Well, if that are your criteria, I have a whole list of countries you can go after. Some of them are even good allies of the US. Don't you think they should pay a price too?

No. Sadly, the people who bring up Iraq's defiance of UN resolutions as a grounds for attack will continue for as long as possible to ignore or evade that question.

few dictators are really dangerous, and those with capabilities of being dangerous (pakistan, and someone mentioned syria, both have nukes) dont have a history of using weapones of mass-destruction.

But Pakistan does have a reputation when it comes to supporting terrorist organisations...

As for Israel, yes, this is the number one problem in the entire world and something needs to be done. But you must realize that Israel has been attacked multiple times by multiple Arab countries and many important people in the neighboring countries have never repudiated their position that Israel must be pushed into the sea.

This is a contrast to Iraq which has not been a victim of agression, in fact they have been the agressor in multiple wars.

As for N. Korea, something is being done now. The US does not rush off willy-nilly and invade people. Military action is always a course of last resort.

Thanks tandy. In other words it is our fault that we were attacked. And if Bush wasn't in office we would be loved. I wonder what you all would have been protesting when we were attacked at Pear Harbour? The high price of pineapples that caused Japan to attack us?

I heard it from the American news media. I suppose one should never trust them as an accurate source of information.

Syria did attempt to get materials necessary for nuclear capability about 10 years ago. Just recently they announced their intentions to start their nuclear research again.

Here is a link with a concise run-down of Syria's weapon capabilities. Syria's Weapons of Mass Destruction Profile

And here is one briefly explaining Syria's actions in the early 1990's. Syria's Nuclear Weapons Programs

There is no evasion. Or would you suggest that the entire world be attacked at once? In the mean time it is probably best just to march for "peace" and do nothing but appease?

Was it the fault of the people who died? No. Is the American goverment (past and present) partly to blame. Yes.

And if Bush wasn't in office we would be loved.

Well, I don't know what another man would do in this situation, but I do know what an intelligent man would not be doing. Is Bush responsible for all that has happened? No. Will he be culpable for the things to come? Most defintely.

I'm sorry, but I draw no comparisons between the two, and I never did. You're just grasping.

I have checked several sources, not one mentions Syria having nuclear weapons.

Anyway, I have not heard any solutions coming from the "peace at any cost crowd". If America is the supreme evil in the world what should we do-- raise 250 million white flags and beg for forgiveness so we won't be attacked again?

Precisely. Defiance of UN resolutions is not grounds for attack. Of any country. Including Iraq. So stop bringing it up.

Who are we "appeasing" by not attacking Iraq? What exactly has Iraq initiated against the United States that not attacking him would be "appeasement?"

[Lincoln]

I am not grasping. The analogy is fitting. We experienced an unprovoked attack. What should we do now?

[Lincoln]

There is no attack of Iraq. There is a threat of war if they continue to mock the UN peace efforts. Because everyone does it should it continue to be ignored or should we start somewhere and actually back up the words?

Maybe the oil embargo against the Japanese had a tad to do with it. As well as American "imperial" possessions in the Philipines.

That and the fact the bastards thought they could take us.
