And you the "appeasers", the any freedom at any price as long as I don't have to pay it crowd would have done what?? Exactly what would have been the price of your inaction Amos?? You witter on about humanity as though you have a monopoly on it.

Where was you humanity in Rwanda?

Where was it in Bosnia?? and in Kosovo??

Where is it now in Darfur?? and in Burma??

I'll tell you what Amos ould son all your so-called humanity hasn't and isn't doing much for the good of mankind. You are the ones who when they see evil shuffle about and go into a huddle to come up with some hypocritical theory as to why you should not act. Your fore-runners cost 72 million lives by not taking on the great dictators of the twentieth century when they should have done. Like you they saw the danger and blithely hoped it would just go away - it didn't, and it wasn't going to this time round either.

Iraq? Mistake? Lets have a look at the magnitude of this mistake:

The potential threat that was removed, the axis of evil as it was called:

A rogue state with WMD or WMD technology and expertise links up with an international terrorist organisation to mount an attack using WMD on US centres of population.

The stuff of horror stories, that was what your President was talking about when he referred to "The Axis of Evil".

Amos would meaninglessly chase after terrorists who'd already given it their best shot - Al-Qaeda a threat to the US post 9/11 - Hells teeth they haven't been able to guarantee their next nights sleep since November 2001 - some threat to the US they are.

No your President listened to what his predecessor had ignored. 9/11's, a whole string of them, had been on the drawing board since long before Iraq almost ten years in fact. But the Terrorist organisation is not the centre of gravity of the threat, they are the delivery system, the really dangerous part of the equation lies in the weapons that a rogue state could put in their hands.

On evaluation Saddam's Iraq was the prime candidate to fulfill the role of rogue state and moves were made to it render safe. He really should have listened when GWB told the UN to act to address Americas concerns or the US will act unilaterally - big mistake, on the part of Saddam.

By mid-summer 2003 could you name me any candidates for the role of "rogue state" Amos??

Certainly not Libya

Certainly not Iran

Certainly not North Korea

Certainly not Syria

No Amos they all tucked their heads back in, and that has kept the US extremely safe. Who, with an anti-American agenda now would volunteer to take on the role of likely "rogue state"?? I cannot think of anyone Amos can you?? Why Amos because they wouldn't f**king dare to thats why, and all because of Iraq.
