Well, okay, in this case, he's already shot a couple of your neighbors. Just nobody lately. You feel comfortable with that?

XBrit, Your characterization of the legal situation between Iraq, the US and the US is incomplete. Iraq invaded Kuwait. The US was allied with Kuwait, went to the UN. The UN called for Iraq to leave Kuwait. Iraq did not. The UN approved military action to remove Iraq from Kuwait. The US led the military effort. Saddam sued for peace and agreed to disarm. Iraq has never been in compliance with the surrender agreement. With the surrender unresloved, there is still a unresolved state of war between the US and the UN vs. Iraq. Iraq can resolve the situation by disarming. It was bad policy to leave the situation unresolved for so long that it now appears ambiguous to the world. It also sent a dangerous message to those who would harm the US. Paul
