    The illegal (the UN didn’t approve the attack) and immoral invasion of Iraq has started. It seems (not confirmed) that right now Iraq is responding with chemical weapons (which by the way were provided by USA some years back) in the border with Iraq. G. Bush promised that if Iraq was going to use chemical weapons, they will respond with a nuke. Yes, I know this should be posted in the soapbox, but I felt I had to say it here.

      There is talk in Britain, that if any Iraqi public are killed by any British bombs, that Blair will be prosecuted for war crimes as the war is theoretically illegal.

          Yeh, right. As if that's going to happen. I didn't see the UN rushing to prosecute NATO countries when innocent Serbians were killed during the conflict in 1999 - is anyone actually naive enough to think this situation is going to be any different? When this is over and Saddams stash of WMDs is found, the UN is going to look pretty stupid.

                If it is legality you seek then what about the legality of gassing your own people ? What about the legality of routine torture and murder of political opponents ? I could go on . Surely the question is not one about narrow definitions of legality , but whether or not the action is justified .After all the quickest way to get 5 opinions is to put 3 laywers in a room . Nukes ? If nukes where used then it would signify such a change in the perception of what nukes are for that the world would become a vastly more dangerous place. Nukes must remain a weapon of last resort . Am I the only one forever playing catch up with technology , while all the juicy opportunites keep rolling by ?

Should SH have resigned 12 years ago would Iraq be in a much healthier state.

                              Aaaaj i know whar you are talking about. You mean that tv documentation where they where talking about Mr. Rumsfeld working for an american inteligence agency in the 50s and 60s. He was working on chemical drugs to make a man say everything he knows aren't you ? Yes i remebmer it is the story where another member of this research group "jumped" out of the window of a hotel in america with the little broken glas parts inside the room. But this only happens in banana republics !! Another question: Did Mr. Rumsfeld ask the foreign trading goverment to allow american companys to delvier weapons to the iraq in the early 80s ? Can you answer this ? Regards Sascha

Can you remind me? UN condoned the 11th sept terrorist attack, but now US is committing another, probably more serious act of terrorism, government terrorism. There was no a single piece of evidence that there was a connection point between Iraq and Al Quaeda. Can you tell me what Iraq has to do with Bin Laden? Perhaps you don't know that it's Saudi Arabia who is supporting terrorist groups.

Sure, but what about the hundred of children that die everyday in Saudi Arabia because the lack of food when their dictators are rotted with money from the oil? Not to mention the situation of women there, many of them are simply slaves… What about North Korea? I could go on as well ... Why US only attacks Iraq and does nothing in the other countries? Andrew Torrance wrote: Nukes must remain a weapon of last resort . So do you really believe that Nukes dropped at Hiroshima and Nagashaki were the last resort?

                                      There is no right in a case like this, only wrongs. By his conduct Saddam has betrayed the whole of humanity as well as his own people, and therefore he has brought this upon Iraq, not GWB (much as I dislike him, I think he's sincere). It's too late to point fingers (IMHO most of the diplomats have been acting like children, making war more likely, not less). We should all be praying for an outcome to this war that benefits the people of Iraq and humanity as a whole. Anna :rose: Homepage | My life in tears

                                        ...but justified, I think. The UN did themselves no favours by dithering while people died. It should have got involved in the Balkans long before it did. Anna :rose: Homepage | My life in tears

Can you remind me? UN condoned the 11th sept terrorist attack, but now US is committing another, probably more serious act of terrorism, government terrorism. There was no a single piece of evidence that there was a connection point between Iraq and Al Quaeda. Can you tell me what Iraq has to do with Bin Laden? Perhaps you don't know that it's Saudi Arabia who is supporting terrorist groups.

I was just livid at the time over your useless post and should have abstained from responding at all. - Nitron
