Repeat after me CASUS BELLI You are willing to accept much less than I am, for a casus belli. You can certainly have that opinion, but it's only an opinion. And not (imo) a very good one. What you have posted about is intent- and intent to do something in the future. NOT a good foundation for declaring war. Obviously you disagree. And on top of that we couldn't be very sure about the intent when we started the war, and I'd argue that the documents and evidence we have now give conflicting views as to the intention even now. It's not as clear cut as you believe, even with your war-won documents. I understand you feel what you feel very strongly, and I'm sure you can't imagine how anyone can look at the same evidence you do and not come to the same conclusion. That's just the way the world is. Opinions will differ. So far I've been pretty spot on in terms of my predictions of what would happened in Iraq. I predicted a terrorist event for the airlines back in 1999 too- and I even suggested a stock to buy for the event (and suggested that the event could tank the markets). So at this point, I'm more comfortable with my tea leaf reading than yours- but even my tea leaf reading is only tea leaf reading- and I wouldn't even start a war based on my predictions.
