In this post you've revealed yourself as a hypocrite. In your thread heading you post articles saying:

1) the US is wrong to go to war with Iraq unilaterally without international agreement - here's one:

Canadians oppose war in Iraq without UN

and

2) the US should use containment and deterrence instead of war with Saddam:

Why are containment and deterrence -- the strategies that worked for the four decades of the Cold War -- suddenly considered more dangerous than poking the snake?

Yet in the post above you reveal, probably unintentionally, that the problem for you isn't unilateralism because during the first Gulf war when we had massive international support - you were against war then too. And you aren't really a proponent of containment and deterrence either because you think Saddam was justified all along in invading and annexing his neighbor.

The British drawn boundary lines landlocked Iraq and Kuwait was once part of the Basra Province.

In other posts I've seen Karen Lawrence and Thomas M agree Saddam developing nuclear weapons is perfectly reasonable - OK that's not a surprise for Thomas M but Karen Lawrence- that was a surprise. So much for wanting to contain Saddam.

You antiwar people are a bunch of hypocritical liars. You advance arguments you really don't believe in - as I just demonstrated. You specifically, Partytime, are a liar. Why would you put articles in your thread header advocating positions you don't really support when it gets down to it?

You guys really are just a bunch of knee-jerk anti-Americans. You are objectively pro-Saddam. What else can you call it when you guys argue Saddam should have nuclear weapons, when you argue Kuwait should really be part of Iraq anyway. Now why would anyone support a brutal thug like Saddam who has the blood of over 1.5 million people on his hands? There can be only one reason - because he is the most visible enemy American has.
