Read them and tell me what you think...
"No cause for war with Iraq" - Kofi Annan, UN secretary-general. "I hope that the situation can be resolved peacefully and without violence" - George Bush (not a joke) Is this a turn for the better? Could it possibly be that people are working away from the violent solution?

No - GWB just says something like that because he can't say: "We want a war with Iraq"
When the war comes (not if), He'll say something like: "We would have liked to avoid this, but Saddam Hussein wouldn't give up his WoMD ........."

Seriously, I doubt there is any love lost btwn Saddam and Bush, but I doubt very highly that he'd risk war for one person...especially with the press hot on the trail of anything that takes place involving Iraq these days.

Also - the US government has already stated that it reserves the right to interprit the inspectors rapport (due 27. Jan) themselves and act accordingly - i.e. attack without going back to the Secuerity Council.

You are right in that the US has reserved the right to ignore the UN and the Security Council. If the Security Council isn't doing its real job or the UN is not serving the Interest of the US, there is no real reason why the US should utilize those offices. Other than it ticks them off, and illustrates just how inneffective the whole UN has become. Im not happy about that, but it has been decades since the UN has done anything really effective anywhere on the globe.....unless it has been backed up by the US. (I will qualify that last statement...by saing "That I know of") |

Did they exist or not? Tariq Aziz and the Iraqi Government said they did not, their report to the US (The 13000 page document) said it didn't exist, obviously a lie. Why are you so sure of US lies and so sure that Sadam Husein is the soul of thruth and goodness? [ 01-03-2003, 10:50 PM: Message edited by: MagiK ] |
