Bob,

The whole war was used by Bush to strengthen his darling New World Order (he's up to his neck in it) and increase the UN influence in American foriegn policy and UN control over our armed forces.

Do you really think it such an awful thing that the US has recently been consulting (to some degree) with the world community before deploying military forces? Do you have any idea how much damage the unilateral use of force in the past has done to our reputation and standing in other countries?

The ambassador was told to shut up after wards when she realized she had been used and the reports lost or something.

Ah yes, those old lost reports. How very convenient for conspiracy theorists.

Iraq claims a certain portion of land that Kuwait controls which is full of oil wells. It used to belong to Iraq at some time in the past.

So what if it belonged to Iraq in the past? It is very clear that the people who live in what is now Kuwait do not want to be Iraqis, and according to the principle of self-determination they have the right not to be Iraqis if they so choose. What if Britain were to invade the US on the grounds that it had once been part of the British Empire? Or Italy could invade France and England, among others, to reconstitute the Roman Empire. The "it used to be ours" excuse doesn't make it any more.

Paranoia really does strike deep.
