I become afraid of my own anti-Americanism

And you should read the UN sanctions against Iraq from 12 years ago that explicitly detail that Iraq is not to have any missiles with a range of (about) 96 miles. Then look at the reports missiles hitting encampments about 150 miles inside Kuwait.

First off, it is established on Poly that you must provide your own proofs, not require someone who doesn't believe you to look them up.

Next, given that Kuwait isn't 150 miles deep, how is it possible for a missile to hit 150 miles inside Kuwait? With the exception of one missile, they've all been short of the range limitations set by the U.N. Apparently a missile that went off course into the Persian Gult went 180 kilometers the other day, which is only 30 kilometers over the limit.

I just have a question for those opposed to US, do you think the war will have positive results or make things worse??

I will be glad to see Saddam go. I also think that many hate US because they are now the world sole Super power, and people dont like that, but someone has to be on top, and US is better then say having China in that postion. ALso if 9-11 did not happen, this war in Iraq would have never came about, I dont know how 9-11 effected people in other nations, but many here in US it changed a lot of things.

Well I have heard news reports that indicate that many of the missles fired at Kuwait were indeed scuds, missles Saddam claimed to have gotten rid of. Also Have you heard about the hosipital that they found that had chemical suits and antidotes for nerve gas? We know that US will not use chemical weapons on Iraq, so why would the Iraqies have this stuff??

That's quite a ways over the limit though.

How do we know that it wasn't just one of the missiles that Iraq was in the process of destroying before the war started? Can we be certain that the job been completed?

Have you heard that there's an abominable snowman that lives in the Himalayas? Hearsay is meangless. They've also said, a few days back, that Basra had been captured, but now we're hearing of heavy fighting there. And the British are even backing away from the uprising story. Truth is the first casuality of war.

They have tape of this hosipital and what was in it, I saw it with my own eyes. They turn it into a millitary base so that it would not get bombed by the allied forces. They have found many Iraqi troops with gas masks too, so again why would they have them??

Because people are now saying "See, he's been hiding something all along!" But if they're one of the bunch that was ordered destroyed, with compliance on Saddam's part, that argument doesn't hold water. Until more evidence comes out it's pointless to speculate, and only leads to misinformation.

Willem do you think that Iraq does not have any chemical or biological weapons?

Why does the US have fallout shelters? Keep in mind that Iran and Iraq once fought a war with both sides using gas. It would be simple prudence to have a few suits lying around, just in case, and proves nothing.

I wouldn't be surprised if he did, but until I see some definite proof I'm not going to make any conjectures either way. So far there's been no "smoking gun", just circumstantial evidence.

Well This is a good postion to have, allthough I am think he has chemical weapons, and the recent disscoveries make me think this even more, but again no hard evidence has been found yet, since they are focused on fighting the war and have bypassed most cities to get to the capital Baghdad. I think that after the fighting is done if Saddam does not use chemical weapons we will find them in his many underground bunkers.

You mean like we didn't use chemical weapons in Vietnam? Iraq isn't the only country with chem wepaons in the Gulf. Iran also used gas during the first Gulf War.

True, but it's not a SCUD nor is it the same range as Amesjustin was claiming (150 miles).
