The mere existence of deadly weapons of any sort in another country is in my opinion no sane (or legal) excuse for attacking that country if it has NOT already attacked you first. No one has the right to attack anyone else FIRST. Therefore that excuse, even if it had been true, lent no credibility whatsoever to an American attack on Iraq in 2003.

That's the part that drives me crazy.

The USA obviously thinks it's perfectly okay for them to do to others exactly what others can NEVER be allowed to do to them. This has been the blind spot in the thinking of all self-serving conquering empires...or at least the blind spot in the thinking of their own common people who are dumb enough to fall for it (their leaders know better). It's willful, blind ignorance for people to support a government that attacks others first. Just like the Japanese people in 1941...never question "Daddy", because "Daddy" always knows best.
