 RW>>>> The UN's previous resolutions pertaining to disarmament and the

 RW>>>> Resolution 687, Resolution 688, Resolution 707, Resolution 715,
 RW>>>> Resolution 986, and Resolution 1284.

 RW>>>> UNR 1441 did not supercede these.

 BA>>> And the problem of enforcement of those resolutions was a problem

It was a problem that the UN ignored for over 10 years...Somebody had to
show some leadership in this world of the scared and weak minded...

 BA>>> not for the United States.  The UN specifically did NOT ask the

Save for those who were very happy in their new found freedom from the
assasins of Saddam Hussien. Better liberty than death.

 BA>   The fact that the US went ahead and acted unilaterally and without

You whacko liberals sure do hate your own country. If the French found
their Eiffel Tower or their Arc de Triomphe in rubble, do you believe they
would seek our permission before launching their cheeses of mass
destruction on the perpetrator?

 BA> military attack, even if it were feasible, is unnecessary because the

You sure do hate your own country...you should be ashamed of yourself.
Better yet, move to one that you can love, like France or Russia.
