Thread Name: BS: Should Saddam comply with Resolutions?
Subject: RE: BS: Should Saddam comply with Resolutions?
JtS-If the U.S. attacks Iraq, it violates the terms of the cease-fire. Until the UN declares the cease-fire broken or invalidated, it is still in effect FOR BOTH SIDES. You can't honestly believe that it constitutes self-defense for an occupier to assault and dismantle the government of an occupied country for warning shots which have never, in twelve years, threatened to cause harm to USAF equipment, much less soldiers.

Troll-No evidence has yet been presented, even on the brink of war, that Saddam has nuclear weapons. The United States has threatened the use of nuclear weapons in the Middle East; Iraq has not. As far as Israel is concerned (wherever that topic sprang up from), the UN has enforced all of its resolutions equally: it spends no more effort on the 1948 declaration of Israeli sovereignty than it does on its subsequent resolutions.
