Subject: RE: BS: Bush, Iraq, and War: PART EIGHT
The question still remains, what gives us the right, musch less the duty, to interfere with Iraq? Yes, we believe that they may be developing nuclear weapons. The United States is in possession of one of the world's largest nuclear arsenals, and has the capacity to deliver them to anywhere in the world. Does that mean that the rest of the world should pursue a policy of regime change for us? The United states has a longer history of offensive action than Iraq. We have, in the past year, deposed the government of a sovereign nation. Does this make us a threat to world security? Iraq has not made any direct threats to us, while the American government has already passed a resolution to allow us to engage our military forces into Iraq, without provocation. How can we justify our aggressive stance?
