<I find no connection between the reason for the Gulf War and the reasoning behind our purported plans to attack today. In the Gulf War, we had not been concerned about his development of WMD! We were going for one purpose only, which was to liberate Kuwait. Today, the situation is totally different.>

That was my point. AMERICA was not concerned about WMD, but I seem to remember quite vivid pictures of Israelis cowering in their homes wearing gas masks.

This administration keeps talking about the 'moral authority' as a rallying cry. It would have been easier 10 years ago to say to Saddam; "If you attack Israel, in any way, you will be removed from power."

10 years ago the world went there to liberate oil. If Kuwait's main export was broccoli, I wonder what Bush would have done? ;->>
