Why don't you tell us why Israel is exempt from complying with dozens of UN resolutions? Why don't you tell us why Israel can continue to build illegal weapons of mass destruction, including chemical, nuclear, and biological, and constantly threatening and attacking her Arabs neighbors? Is the Jewish nation exempt from international law and civilized behavior?

Israel provokes the arms race in the Middle East by building illegal weapons of mass destruction and then constantly threatening and invading her neighbors. Israel has occupied Palestinian, Lebanese, and Syrian lands for over thirty years. Numerous UN resolutions have called for Israel's pullback from occupied lands, but she simply continues her illegal occupations.

>>>dufus,<<<<

Vitas, it's my opinion you should treat your debate opponent with respect. Calling folks "dufus" or "retarded" or whatever serves to minimize any opinion that would find its way to your position.

>>>why don't you tell us why Saddam is exempt from complying with United Nations Resolution 1441<<<

He's not exempt. The inspections are in process. And I remind you that these inspections don't exist only for the convenience of the United States, but rather they exist for the United Nations as a whole.

>>>and why the citizens of the United States of America should continue to run the risk of another attack while Saddam is in non compliance<<<

First, Iraq did not and has never attacked the United States of America. If you truly believe this, please indicate time date and place and who specifically was behind the attack on American citizens.

Secondly, citizens of the United States of America really do "run the risk" from a first attack from Iraq should Bush pull the war trigger; whereas, presently they don't.

Vitas, ask any expert. Terrorism attacks in America are more likely to come from OBL, and ringwing extremists; not Iraq.

>>>Bush has successfully made a previous back-burner issue the one with the fat in the fire, regardless of the near unanimous opinion of the rest of the world that, while Iraq may be "a" problem, it is just one of several.<<<

Vitas, could you please stop and consider for a moment that perhaps you're wrong; and that most of the people are right? At least on this issue--lol!
