Yes. But it is none of your business. Oh?.. you post your opinions on a public forum just like the rest of us. So now you want to be selective as to who you are willing to permit to question them? If you want your opinions to remain unchallenged, I suggest that you resort to PMs. I'm interested in dialogue, not monologue.. discussion, not suppression... And I'd wager that most people who read these threads, upon whom you seemingly believe you have the right to thrust your questionable opinions uncontested. I kind of remember Iraq invading Kuwait was the justification of the previous military action against Iraq. Iraq invaded Kuwait in 1998? What, is it formal policy now that if a country does not show you documents that it used x number of bombs on its neighbour in a war, y tons of chemicals gassing civilian villages Apparently it was good enough for Bill Clinton to launch his "Operation Desert Fox" in late 1998, as a direct result of Iraq not providing that document.. But I guess I should ask you what repercussions and punishment you would have recommended for Iraq having lied about having not expended fully 33% of the 19,000 chemical warheads they claimed, in 1991, to have accounted for. No explanation at all in the 6 years since that document was found, confiscated by an Iraqi minder, and finally only provided in November, 2002, AFTER UNSC 1441 was unanimously passed. And TO THIS DAY, they still have not accounted for that discrepancy.. 6,000 warheads, somehow expended without the Iraqi military having bothered to account for it. I guess you would have punished Saddam by lifting the UN sanctions, as France attempted to do. No, I don't. Are you going to invade me, too? Nah.... nothing worth having there in Monaco.. Just mere form and little function in your little royal fiefdom there (where you can't even be a citizen). It would be like invading Las Vegas or Disney World. Because you all plainly live in your own little fantasy world where your soveriegnty and security is subsidized by other nations who actually have to do the fighting and dying to maintain your ability to live in your utter decadence and luxury.. After all, when's the last time Monaco ever participated in an actual UN peace-keeping mission? Hawk
