You could safely assume that most countries opposing this imminent invasion are not defending Saddam, either. What it amounts to is that the UNSC has issued a conviction that it doesn't want to enforce. The past 10 years have seen Saddam hiding massive quantities of forbidden materials, assaults against his Kurdish and the Marsh Arabs (I wonder if the latter qualify as a "national entity" deserving of a "homeland")... He's also massed forces on the Kuwaiti border (1994) threatening another invasion of that nation... He also attempted to assasinate Bush Sr, within two years of his leaving the presidency.. And even now... WHEN WE KNOW MATERIALS HAVE NOT BEEN ACCOUNTED FOR, Saddam is trying to tell us he doesn't have any WMDs... Now most nations don't believe that either.. They know he does.. But they use the excuse that other nation have them and we don't threaten to depose their leaders.. But the answer to that is that these other nations are not under a strict UNSC prohibition from possessing such weapons... the kind of prohibition that Iraq is under.. Now.. Europe shared in issuing those resolutions.. But it's been the US and UK who have born the primary responsibility for keeping Saddam in his box for the past 10 years... And personally... I'm kind of sick of the guy.. 9/11 depleted all the good-will and patience the US has shown over that period. And since I know that the heart of the Islamo-Fascist ideology lies in Saudi Arabia, there's even more reason to overthrow Saddam so that we have better access to the real enemy... Wahhabism.. What you call an "excuse" is what I call "had enough".. Hawk
