What about the 1.5 million Muslims he has killed and the suffering and torture he has subjected his own people to. You also might want to talk to the aircrews of the aircraft flying over Iraq that are shot at every single day. He hasn't abided by the agreement he made in 1991. Your argument is baseless. By the way, how many intelligence briefings have you sat in on in the last 12 years?
First of all, there is no "it" to put an end to, as Iraq has not attacked us. Second, our govt has been phoney about this from the get-go, as they never intended to allow any other solution but invasion and occupation (the US has been actively discouraging efforts by Russia to overthrow Saddam in a coup, as this would eliminate the justification for invasion and occupation). The behavior of our government has been the exact opposite of just war criteria
You sound like those clueless dolts in the episcopacy. Read the agreement that Hussein signed in 1991 and the 17 resolutions the UN has passed since then. Saint Augustine would characterize you as a fool and rightly so.
The Muslim world overwhelmingly opposes a US invasion. If they are so lathered about his butchering arabs and muslims, then it is their job to throw him out. But they aren't lathered about it, and they actively oppose us eliminating him.
"You might want to talk to the aircrews of the aircraft that are shot at every single day"
Our aircraft shouldn't be over there. The best way to avoid their being shot at is not to attack Iraq, but rather to utilize our military only for protecting America (doesn't it seem strange to you that our military is "absolutely needed" to fly around over Iraq, while our own borders are totally undefended?)
"He hasn't abided by the agreement he made in 1991"
Nations lie all of the time. The Gulf of Tonkin and the Kuwaiti incubator babies come to mind. Does "lying" appear somewhere in the just war doctrine? If so, our Imperial Masters in DC had better slip out of town now.
