If a thread diverts to a different topic than originally intended and the members take the ball and run with it, it is part of the moderators job to change the name of the thread to reflect the new subject. As a result the name of this thread has been changed. My apologies if it is not to...

rs7, lol :D Maybe we should start an Emmy style award show online? Lets pitch the idea to Baron. I can just imagine the acceptance speeches: "You do love me!! [sob] You really, really do love me! [sniff]"

Madison (and others seeking evidence): http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/2277352.stm TF2000, you may want to read the part about Ms. Short since you quoted her at great length in a previous post. But I'm not holding my breath since you easily discard anyone and anything that doesn't...

The best way I find is to not follow rules that are dictated to you. EDIT; Sorry Babak, but Rogue requested that the answer not be let out :) But I did the same... Commisso

Because Saddam is a tyrant and he rules with an iron fist killing anyone who dare think about oppose him. He only cares about himself and his grip on power. Therefore he doesn't give a damn about his people. Really TF2000! do you think that the blood of those innocent lives is not on the hands...

Again, I'll take you back to the early and mid 90's. Why did the world stand back and do nothing while Milosovic committed genocide? why was the UN powerless? why didn' t anyone stop him sooner? Why didn't the UN step in and enforce the peace treaty that Milosovic signed and then broke? It is...

Madison, you won't have to wait long. Blair is putting together a dossier of intelligence reports by the end of the month (I believe). Unless you believe he has made up that evidence it will be crystal clear.

Actually, what Bush said was basically this: "Look we've tried reasoning with Iraq for 11 years. They don't respond to any UN resolutions. If the UN doesn't give him consequences for his belligerence, then it means that it is irrelevant. And in that scenario the US will act." The US will...

Madison, I totally understand you requiring proof. I don't have links right now but I did read that it was so. I'll try and find it. I do know that Spain and especially Aznar bristles at the mere mention of terrorism because it is a topic that they have had to deal with for decades. Aznar...

Why do some people believe the UN to be the be all and the end all concerning international matters? I've already mentioned in detail the example of Yugoslavia where the UN did nothing while thousands of innocent people died because of a madman named Milosovic. Finally the US and Canada...

traderfut2000, All European media? Italy, Spain and UK are with the US. Germany would also be with its long time ally if not for one thing. Germany's (Schroder's) stance was due to the elections. Schroder pandered to the Green Party who he desperately needed to win the election. Now that...

tradefut2000, your claim of "how do we know that the US will go to Iraq to help people" rings chillingly close to an excerpt from an interview with Osama bin Ladin. In that interview he was asked why his men attacked the US forces in Somalia when they were there to help the people by...

Ms. Short is wrong. If you want to help the people of Iraq, remove Saddam from power. If you want to stop the death of children, remove Saddam from power. The only reason they suffer and have suffered is because of the actions that Saddam has taken and continues to take. There have been 11...

I don't want to digress into a separate subject, however I would like to mention something with regards to the discussion specifically dealing with the UN (as opposed to the US). The situation in Yugoslavia was finally resolved not as a result of UN resolution or actions. It was resolved by...

traderfut2000, You've opened my eyes. Now I understand. Saddam is a good person. He loves his country, he loves his people. He has never hurt, harmed or killed anyone (nevermind his own people). The US is evil and out to destroy this saint. Because the US wants its oil. Saddam selflessly...

traderfut2000, You point out that the embargo on Iraq has hurt the civilian population. If this is so it is only due to the totalitarian regime of Saddam. While he is busy building palace after palace, children are dying for want of medicine, running water, etc. While he is busy buying...

Josh, thanks for your concise reply! I suppose that we differ in that I do not believe that the Iraqi people can, as you put it "take their problems and solve them". I'm a little baffled why you would put it this way as Iraq is a totalitarian regime. This means that Saddam along with his...

Josh, Again I do not see an answer to my question in your post. You mention that he hasn't done anything and therefore why should we go after him. Then you digress to other topics. I understand everything else you are saying (we want his oil, other despotic governments around the world...
