If you read some of the earlier resolutions by the UN you will note that it is a matter of fact that Iraq has and has had weapons of Mass destruction. The US move to attack is based on two things. 1. Iraq's refusal to disarm for 12 years and 2. Aid and comfort he is giving terrorists groups and activities. to say there is no basis behind this is to deny maters of history and recorded fact.

Well, not exactly. He has enough relations to keep in touch, and he has enough experience to know the inside of world politics and to keep better informed than we could, and he has enough notoriety to be able to speak to influential political personnalities. Which he had to do anyway to take care of developping programs for poor people all over the world. [img]smile.gif[/img]

By that standard, you should accept my personal word that the war on Iraq is necessary, because I had 6 more years of access to the real intelligence and activities of Iraq than he did in his 4 years as president...more over, my personal involvement is 10 years more recent than his [img]smile.gif[/img]

That is a funny comment related to the suggestion you posted on GD that the US should have as many votes in the UN as they have states.

well the two only appear superficially to be related but really aren't [img]smile.gif[/img]
