        "Aznar) is behaving like a little dog, he just does what BB (Bush/Blair) order" Methinks the same: Aznar "Mr. Bush, the military might of Spain is completely at your disposal in the fight against terrorism" Bush: "Good boy, Aznar, good boy. Look a stick! Go fetch the stick, go fetch the stick"

            One other thing... The US is actually destroying its chemical agents (VX nerve gas, etc.) and it has reduced its nuclear weapons count.

              US has a known history of terrorist support (see other reply) US hates Iraq US has no small amounts of biological, chemical, nuclear weapons, and has proven that they are willing to use them. So should the Iraq be allowed to attack the US, to make sure their weapons are not used in an attack on Iraq? Just my opinion.

I wish that one day the US would just mind our own business and watch what happens to the rest of the world. If any other country would have come under attack, you know who would be the first to help? The USA. When countries are in need of medicine and supplies, who is there? The USA. When disaster strikes in forms of earthquake, flood, or volcano, who is there to help? The USA. But when the USA comes under unforseen attack, who is there to help? The USA. That's right, who came to lend support? Did we recieve any money from another loving country? No, who cares, it's only capitalist America. If the USA would just crawl into it's own hole, I would love to see the state of the world. Disease, hunger, corruption, maybe even some slavery and concentration camps? Possible genocide... But that would be OK, right? I mean it wouldn't be our country.... Let them do whatever they want. - Nitron

Well compared to Spain, Poland, Italy and the other arse lickers I would hardly call Germany unstable and in dire need of US support. That is more what I meant. Out of the 10 or how ever many the two that did not support are the two strongest. The rest are hopefully gathering around their benefactor.

                                Napalm is an incendiary bomb made of "gel-ified" gasoline. Maybe you are thinking of Agent Orange which was used to kill foliage in the dense jungle. I don't think it was used directly on the civilian population, but they and many of our own men were adversely affected by it.

In my opinion, Spain (president Aznar) is behaving like a little dog, he just does what BB (Bush/Blair) order. I’m considering about renouncing my nationality (if that were possible). At least we still have Germany and France!

EU Parliament Opposes U.S. Unilateral Move on Iraq Thu January 30, 2003 09:35 AM ET BRUSSELS, Belgium (Reuters) - The European Parliament said on Thursday that Iraq's behavior toward U.N. arms inspectors did not justify military action and urged the United States to avoid any unilateral use of force. In a non-binding resolution reflecting unease in Europe at the prospect of war, EU lawmakers declared: "Breaches of U.N. Security Council Resolution 1441 currently identified by the inspectors with regard to weapons of mass destruction do not justify military action."

The oil in Iraq is relevant in many ways * Oil is how Iraq has the money to fund terrorism and a WMD program. * Oil is the reason Bush is more aware of Iraq than he seemingly is of the rest of the world. * Oil is almost certainly the reason France and Russia are so resistant to the talk of war. Thank you for an intelligent statement on this. The constant mantra that the US only wants Iraq's oil is very tiresome and foolishly inaccurate. If oil were the target, we would intercede militarily in Venezuela, which supplies far more of our imports, is closer, is a lot softer target, and seems to be generally ignored by Europe and Asia.

You surely know that Venezuela is close to suffer a civil war … I can’t demonstrate it, but I’m sure US has something to do with Venezuela’s current situation.

I never said it would be pretty :(, but I'm more sure that the US will keep civilian casualties to a minimum than I am that Iraq would afford us the same courtesy given the chance.

Yes, we bailed them out the last time they nearly went bankrupt (which they never repaid), instead of letting their economy and government collapse under the weight of their incompetence. We'll probably do so again, just because we don't want the good people of Venzuela to suffer for the stupidity of their leaders.
