You must remember.... who is the country with the biggest army in the world?.

China

Is obviously since 90's Iraq was bombed, they must defend, then they buy weapons.

Since the end of the Gulf War the only Iraqi sites that have been bombed have been military sites, primarily illegal AA sites, bombed by coalition forces. The Iraqi's have been warned repeatedly not to "lock on" to coalition aircraft, or they will be destroyed.

The Iraqi's, at the height of their power, were no match for the coalition, and buying weapons in violation of the cease fire agreement with the UN isn't going to get them ready this time. They are not allowed to do it to do it.

His people are starving because Saddam is wasting money on military items instead of buying food. Which do you think he should buy? Is it ok to waste money on the military instead of feeding the population?[/QUOTE]
