===> "* Permanent weapons inspectors
* Permanent UN peacekeepers
* Permanent no-fly zone to encompass all of Iraq <===

Too expensive. Without the costly American military might, Iraq would continue to ignore any UN mandates.

<< Iraq didn't produce anything while the last weapons inspectors were in his country. >>

The first weapons inspection was a total failure. If Saddam was not developing a chemical and biological weapons program, then he could have very easily gotten the sanctions removed. One has to ask the question: Why was Iraq not willing to give up it's weapons programs for the lifting of sanctions against it?

<< there is absolutely no need for this war, >>

Iraq's brutality against the Kuwaitis is enough reason to rid the world of Saddam's regime. There are still about 600 Kuwaitis missing, and presumed tortured and murdered by Saddam. He has been adjudged to be guilty, by the Barry World Court, and his punishment is a 12,000 pound bomb up the ass.

<< ... a war that will be waged upon a population of 23 million of which 42 percent are children under the age of 15. >>

We are going to bring freedom and democracy to a lot of children. Doesn't that make you feel good at all? Do you want these children to live in a repressive, brutal country? I see children laughing and playing, instead of watching their relatives being tortured by Saddam.
