I would love to see any information you might have that indicates the United States defended Saddam's action against his own people using WMD, that was 15 years ago, 12 years ago we attacked him. That is a very close timetable, we were hardly supporting him at that late of a date. Was he convienent in dealing with fundamentalist uprising in Iran att he time, yes. Did we know he would go on to create one of the most oppressive regimes in modern history, no.
How can you say the morality of this war is non-existent? In any international court of law he would easily be convicted of genocide against the very people he is in charge of protecting. He has sponsored terrorist activities as well as used his government to commit a terrorist act of their own, the attempted assasination of President Bush the 1st. He has attacked two of his neighboors already. Notice how there is no resistance from Arab leadership in the regions other countries. They are all very happy to see Saddam go, they know him far better than we ever will, I trust their opinion more than yours. Unfortunately when TV crews film in Baghdad there MUST be an Iraqi offical present, and all citizens voice complete satisfaction and approval of Saddam, when spoken to alone and free to say what they wish it's often a very different story. Don't bother asking the descedants of the 60,000 Kurds he gassed what they think of him.
Notice how none of the ambassadors that spoke today at the un BEFORE France had their whine NEVER mentioned them by name as the permanent member committed to a veto, Russia, Germany, and China all maintained this position as well so any of the 4 could have been inferred. What was the French response, wahwahwah, we were singled out.
Face it, collectively even the EU is not an equal to the US, much of the opposition to this war has been based on this. France has small penis syndrome, not being a major player in the international scene anymore has them trying to assert their postion as the leader of the EU, lol. Amusing the rest of the EU would fall in line behind, personally I would have backed Spain. An up and coming country with an economy sure to be on the rise, we will see to that. Sorry to hear Pakistan's market crumbled today, the war drums hurt but not nearly as bad as the announcement of the pulling of the offer of US aid in concession for use of strategic land for the upcoming training exercise . Align yourself with a nation committed to opposing the will of the United States more so than any actions based on reality or the facts at hand, even enforcing resolutions they themselves agreed upon SEVENTEEN TIMES OVER TWELVE YEARS.
