First we have to be willing to stop this war - then we can make another plan to help the Iraqi people without War The USA has given Russia once a far greater threat than Saddam ever could be, Billions to help them disarm and rebuild without ever attacking them. Actually that is all Saddam wanted - help rebuilding after his 8 year war with Iran a war that was supported by the USA. Saddam was not given any assistance and eventually took over Kuwait a former province of Iraq and a country that benefited from Iraq's war with Iran, to help pay for rebuilding - Iraq only attacked Kuwait after checking it out with the USA first. The US ambassador said the US would not get involved. Iraq would never have attacked Kuwait if the USA had given strong opposition before the attack. Iraq had no right to attack Kuwait and paid a severe and brutal price and is still paying to this day. Iraq was one of the most modern Arab states before America attacked and destroyed much of it. Iraq had more schools and hospitals per capita than the USA. America does not have to go to war to make changes - america has proven that already - Why war now? it is not to Protect the USA and it is not to help Iraq.
