I know the UN is like you said. I betcha the UN has it and blaming on the US. They don't have proof that US did it. Without it, they can not prove. Just another attack of our good country.

[jbering69]

Why the rampant dislike for the U.N. ? It is an excellent instrument for world order.

[Puck]

The UN does noooooooothing...Saddam wouldn't let them inspect his WMD stuff for the longest time but they just sat around talkin about BS. UN is worthless, almost as much as the French.

[Capt.Rene D'Hondt]

let me just say Janeway what bush has not done.There are countries in far worse condition then Iraq has ever been.Countried that Pres.Bush doubtfully even knows where they are.Look at Africa.Those people are constantly killing each other..and have sooo many probloms.But mr.bush doesnt seem to care.There are Gov'ts in Africa as bad and worse then saddam but bush doesnt give a damn.And look at Bolivia in South America Latin Americas poorest country.there sooo much sh*t in that country........and it doesnt even get reported.BBecause no one has interest fo it.Now let me explain why bush went into Iraq.Bush I doubt cares what Saddam did to his people no matter how much he has convinced the US population he has.Iraq has alot of oil like everyone knows...but iraq is also a key nation in the Middle East for flow of the oil.And who ever controls the flow of the oil controls the balnace of power of the world.I know Saddam did horrible things.But I also know that not why bush's in there.There is also another reason why there in Iraq but I cannot post it because the admins first of all dont wanna beleive it and second.......it could be considered rasist.And im in enough trouble on this site already.

I dont know were to stand on this but I do belave that Bush went in there to help the people of Iraq. and going on what Janeway said, I agree the US cant help everyone.

[jbering69]

Please explain to me precisely as to what the U.N. should have done. Perhaps mystically conjure a standing army to invade, oh wait, the U.N. is to be an instrument of peace not an invasionary force---it does NOT have a standing army. Trade sanctions you say....already in place. AND with regard to trade sanctions, economic and sociological research has determined that long-term trade sanctions have more of a detrimental effect on a nation both with regards to forcing nations to communicate with the outside world and on the general innocent population. Please grace me with your wealth of information on how the French are 'useless'. If your argument is based solely on the refusal of the SOVEREIGN nation of France to sanction the invasion of Iraq along with the U.N. then it is a poor argument. I eagerly await your response.

[T. Dean]

I think the US should have waited for the UN to sanction an invasion. By refusing to cooperate with the UN, the Bush administration took attention away from why the European powers were against the war. The European people may have been against the war for moral reasons but their governments wre opposed to it because they had oil contracts with Hussein and they saw an oppurtunity to flex their international muscle. I think Europe wanted to play a diplomat's game and they tried to use their leading positions in the UN for those means.

[Leo Wyatt]

No not really. We could debate this to the end of the world and it is looking like it. Bush did not go over there for the oil. He was fed up with Saddam. You have not been over there have you? My husband has cause he fought in the war therefore he knows a little bit more what went on for somebody who has not been. If he had time, he would get on here to debate this and I know he would too.

[Leo Wyatt]

I know waiting to get warned in pm. If I posted something similar oh well not meaning to but people dont read.

[Puck]

[Leo Wyatt]

I wouldn't let them get you upset. THey are not worth it. You have a right to post. They think they know it all and they don't. So let them through tantrums cause they can't get anybody to agree. But I do agree this is getting old. We could go on and on forever debating this. We won't see eye to eye.

[chakotaysgal]

I am new here and man this is a fight. It is not worth it. Cool down for goodness sakes.

[Capt.Rene D'Hondt]

Let me continue.Let me explain some of the bad people Bush is protecting.Lets look at the "nice sultan" of Saudi Arabia.Since Gulf War number.1 the Americains placed US troops in Saudi Arabia to "protect the holy city of Mecca" Which is where Mohammed the Prophit is buried.The Sultan isnt a communist regime but the act like one.The rape a tourcherize innocent people.And the break into peoples homes and throw them into prison for no apparent reason.Well.............since the gulf war the US troops havent left Saudi Arabia and to top it all of while these horrible things are happening the Americains no about it but do nothing.Since there is a US military present in Saudi Arabia bush could telll the Sultan to stop what he is doing but Bush doesnt.But how come bush can go into a country with WMDS and save those people.But cant help the poeple in countries where a US present has been for years?The same is for Kuwait............surprisingly........not as bad but happens and other counries protected by the US.smush bush and turn him into mush!

[Leo Wyatt]

Look wrong thing to say about my president. Do you have evidence to back you up? If not then shut up. Face it you are wrong and you know it.
Bad thing to bash my president. Not a nice thing to do. You will make some mad. Like Janeway has said The US can't help eveerybody.

[Theresa]

^He's been banned. And not for his statement here.

[jbering69]

Last reply to this, though I still do not understand the purpose of 'banning' someone for discussing this topic. WMD program? I would have hoped that incredible inaccuracy would have been put to rest now. Even the weapons inspector quit his job saying there was nothing there and that he had better things to do with his time. Throughout these posts I have repeatedly seen the same worn arguments by the same people stating; we did it to help the people, the U.S. can't help everybody, if you've never been there you know nothing about it, and finally since some perspectives do not match, some people aren't worth it. That is called an insult. Any legitimate evidence to support the claims that the French are worthless and the U.N. the same are non - existent in these posts so before anyone makes the claim 'you don't know what you're talking about' re - read your posts, they will surprise you. But enough of this for me, it's finished.

[IntrepidIsMe]

She said he/she wasn't banned for "his statement here".

[Leo Wyatt]

You know some people do not read. THen they would know that he was not banned for this statement on here. People only want to read what they want to and don't really pay attention. Anyhow, I am falling asleep over this
Cause we are going to debate this oooooooooops I am spamming oh well right now I am not worried.


We are not going to see eye to eye. We are just going to continue argue about this til the end of the world.Wake up and smell the coffee.

[Theresa]

The media focus is on Iraq. US troops are in other places... US money and aid are in other places... Why doesn't someone else step up, then? Quit bitching.

[Republican_Man]

See...even more of an addition to have gone to war in Iraq!
