Sure, Albert.

>>>can you tell us what god is the resolution for if it is not enforceable?<<<

Are you in favor of selective enforcement of the law? You must be, because the US had repeatedly ignored the UN Resolutions against Israel. If the US is going to be a White Knight of this order, well, then it first deal with this issue. Had the US done this, Bush would have a tremendous coalition willing to take on Saddam, including many of his Arab neighbors.

>>>Can you tell us where UN inspectors would be if Bush would not threaten Iraq?<<<

Military pressure to reopen the inspection process was a good idea. I don't fault Bush for this. But he shot hiw wad too early, commiting too many forces to the region. He should have diligently, and secretly even, lobbied other UN nations to also commit troops for the express purpose of getting the inspection process back in place. Why should people die for his tactical mistake?

>>>Can you tell us where Kuwait would be if US would shy away from the war?<<<

Russia had brokered a deal which Saddam accepted just days prior to the invasion. Bush the elder didn't take the deal. That war was completely sanction by the UN, the present situation is not.

>>>Can you tell us why should we be searched at airports so Sadam would feel safe and secure?<<<

This kind of situation will only worsen as Al Qaeda will use the Iraqi invasion to recruit more terrorists. In fact, the war could make things even more uglier in America. Worse, Americans will not be welcomed abroad, as this war is dividing once long-loved allies.

>>>Shall I go on?<<<

Please give me a reason to go to war that is not based on speculation?
