The US and the UK have no sovereign hold over the Middle Eastern countries so a strike on Iraq without UN backing is an act of war from us to them..............we would be the first strike perpetrator.

Bullcrap. As Bush just reminded the world, we have twelve years of broken armistice agreements to enforce.

I notice you've rather changed the subject from saying it makes no sense to attack Iraq because they might be a threat; now you say we can't attack even if he is one, either because it's illegal or because it might profit the oil companies.

Sorry, don't buy it. The number one job of the US government is to prevent the radical Arab regimes from biting us again as they did on 9/11. Saudi Arabia is the core exporter of Islamic extremism, but past and present aggression makes Iraq the natural target.
