  • Roll call: Gulf War II stance

    It seems like most posters on 'Poly have chosen their position wrt to Gulf War II, any further debate is merely academic. So let me ask you this, will you support the US/UK invasion without a UN Security Council blessing?

    I am not interested in your opinions wrt the *cough* credibility *cough* of the UN in this thread, so please leave those at the door, thank you.

      So you think you should go if and only if at least 1 other country in the world is with you?

      I find that to be a very odd stance.

        I am a US citizen, and I think it should be a UN thing.
        But I also realize the UN thing will never happen.

        And I think Saddam needs to go.

        So I'm still undecided.

          Blair seems to become GWB's lapdog so there's no problem with UK support. Also, Howard want to have a bit of fun, so toss some Aussies in there too. As far as I can tell, that's all the support there will be without an UNSC resolution.

              The British aren't going to make a significant impact.

                  who else could? (who is an ally)

                  but it will be enough I think so that we can shift troops else where if needed durring an occupiation

                  of course, th emore the better

                      Canada would be better

                      I would rather have them than the UK

                      I am concerned with just the UK (well acutally I am concerned with any number), but probably won't protest it unless we are actually alone

                      the lowest my concern would go is if Canada, UK, australia and Mexico sided with our stance

                      I don't care about the UN

                        actually since Israel is a garuntee

                        I probably won't be protesting

                          Canada could make less of an impact than the UK, by a factor of ~5 or 10...

                              Exult in your existence, because that very process has blundered unwittingly on its own negation. Only a small, local negation, to be sure: only one species, and only a minority of that species; but there lies hope. [...] Stand tall, Bipedal Ape. The shark may outswim you, the cheetah outrun you, the swift outfly you, the capuchin outclimb you, the elephant outpower you, the redwood outlast you. But you have the biggest gifts of all: the gift of understanding the ruthlessly cruel process that gave us all existence [and the] gift of revulsion against its implications.
