chinu. You said...." YOu are saying that this is avictory for Bush? Economic sanctions work. Not military adventures."..... Economic sanctions and military actions both work. It depends on the situation. Do you really think that getting rid of sodom had no affect on moomar. Get real. You said...." When did we have economic sanctions imposed on Libya? When did we have economic sanctions imposed on Iraq?".... You tell me ok? And while you are at it explain why economic sanctions for so many years did NOT have any affect on moomar or sadam and military force did? Could it be because countries like france, Germany, Russia and many others ignored whatever sanctions were in place. And how come the UN did not enforce the sanctions.? And when you say...." When did we have economic sanctions imposed on Libya"..... Who exactly is the " WE " you are referring to?

When did we have economic sanctions imposed on Libya? When did we have economic sanctions imposed on Iraq? Hmmm.. what planet have you been hanging out on Chinu? Have you even bothered to perform a cursory websearch on UN sanctions against Iraq? Seen the news today about how a Syrian company seems to be primarily responsible for providing weapons to Saddam over the past couple of years, in violation of UN sanctions? Oil for Food program ring a bell?? Accusations of 500,000 Iraqi children dying as a result of sanctions sound familiar? Show such blatant ignorance of the facts again, while denigrating the opinion of those who are actually informed, and that will be your ticket out of here.. I want intelligent discussion, based upon facts.. Not based upon what must constitute an incredible display of ignorance.. Hawk
