Subject: RE: BS: Should Saddam comply with Resolutions?
Little Hawk, they agreed to those terms as a condition of the Cease fire. Iraq breaks the ceasefire, the ceasfire is over. US and Brit forces were there enforcing the ceasefire. I think, for the sake of politics, they showed restraint. Yes they have been at war since 1991. Yes the war was undeclared, but the US congress and the UN gave George Bush permission to start it. I agree that dropping bombs is a bad thing to do but so is trying to make Nuclear weapons when you agreed not to.

This isn't about Osama. It has no direct connection to Al Qaeda. its about trying to prevent a nuclear bomb from detonating in New York harbour five ten twenty or fifty years from now. I don't think it will work. I'm worried that they'll do more damage then they will prevent, but that damage will, for the most part, not be in the USA. Are they right or are they wrong? I don't know, but that is what I believe this war is about.
