From what I understand - yes, he has been in violation of many UN agreements. And no, he is not a nice guy.
But why now? The timing just seems so suspicious to me.
Why not last year? Or the year before?
Why are we acting now, and haven't already?
It seems like a diversionary tactic considering our economy and our present search for Osama.
Sure he has weapons, but no way to launch them.

Bush was talking about Iraq in the Spring of 2001, way before September 11th.
No way to launch them? Ask those in Israel, Iran, and Saudi Arabia. Part of his violation of UN resolution is his quest to develope and/or purchase delivery devices/technology.
The timing is crappy, after all, this should have been done over a decade ago, but the Middle Eastern Allies, and the West for that matter, just didn't have the stomach for it.
The truth of the matter is, if your not convinced then nothing that is written here will change your mind. The same is true if you really believe our leadership would take us into a "frivalous" war just to take people's minds off the economy, for political reasons, or whatever.
The cool thing about discussing it here is that it may change your/my perspective of those with a different point of view [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]
