I appreciate your perspective, however I disagree with much of it. Much of what you've described about how bad Saddam is existed back when the US supported him, the difference being his bad behavior supported our interests. So that he behaves today like he behaved then is really no surprise, is it? Much though some of my debate opponents on this thread might discourtesously allege, I don't think everyone on this thread would like to see Saddam as our leader. The United States does not have any world authority to determine who the leader is of another nation. The US, however, does have the authority to defend itself, Afghanastan where the Taliban harbored the terrorists who attacked the US is example. Message 18464119 It's not at all proven Iraq had anything to do with the terrorist attack on the US. In fact, in a comparative, one could argue Iraq had more just cause moving into Kuwait than the US would have just cause moving into Iraq. The weapons of mass destruction issue is a United Nations issue for oversight; not a United States issue for oversight. If the US is to move into Iraq on the basis of the existence of WMD, it must do so as a UN participant and not a lone ranger.
