What wasn't debatable were SH's ties to terrorist groups & the global war on terrorism. His financial support to known terrorist groups outside of Iraq, plus his harboring & training them inside Iraq are well documented. Which of them attacked the US? I mean the UNITED STATES. Israel takes care of itself. FWIW, it wasn't because there were or were not WMD's, but because SH failed to comply with UN resolutions that, among other things, included turning over all WMD's & WMD programs to inspectors immediately for their complete destruction. For 12 long years, SH absolutely failed to comply. 9/11 brought an end to this BS game of hide & seek with the UN. Yup. Those were UN resolutions. Why is it our responsibility to enforce UN resolutions? Particularly when it appears the UN does no want them enforced? If the UN wanted them enforced, why did it not vote to authorize use of force against Iraq? Instead it kept coming out with weasel-worded resolutions under US pressure. When did we become the world's cops? Why would we want the job? You'd have to be crazy to take it. It was also about SH's known ties to known terrorist groups as discussed above, perhaps including Al Qaeda. The global war on terrorism was never about Al Qaeda only. That is absolutely irrefutable. How's this sound? "One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter." Remember those guys sniping at the British as they marched back from Lexington and Concord? They were terrorists. Almost all independence movements at least initially involve "illegal combatants" who fit "terrorist" quite nicely in some government's eyes. How about those guys in Afghanistan? I mean when they were on our side fighting the Soviets. We've supported terrorists too. BTW, in February, Hans Blix ordered over 100 Al Samoud 2 missiles and machinery to produce missile motors because they exceed the 93-mile limit set by a U.N. resolutions at the end of the 1991 Gulf War. One example of numerous clear, irrefutable violations of 18 UN resolutions still occurring in 2003. Again, why is it not the UN's responsibility to enforce UN resolutions? Back later.
