**************************************EXCERPT******************************

This message is for:
-Pacifists
-Conspiracy Theorists (Tin-Foil Hat)
-Saddam Apologists
-United Nations Admirers

Nobody has treated international law with such disdain as Saddam Hussain. His affiliation with terrorist groups, the annexation of Kuwait, the breaking of the non-proliferation treaty by developing/using chemical weapons and the numerours acts of genocide not only make the Iraq War 'legal' but our moral obligation.

In an age of nuclear, chemical and biological weapons we cannot let facistic, barbaric, totalitarian, genocidal, racist lunatics run riot. So what about North Korea, Iran or even zimbabwe? We will come around to all of them, let them get hot under collar in the mean time.

As for the UN, just look at its Human Rights Council and gaze in shock at the names you see. This is an instituion which failed to intervene appropriately in Rwanda, Congo, Darfur and Somalia which collectively totals millions of deaths.

If the whole world was full of pacifists, it would only take a small group with nuclear weapons to obliterate human civilisation so we discard this ideology. Furthermore there is only weakness in moral-relativism, the west is the only place where dreams of ordinary human being can be realised.

Lastly, pragmaticism and diplomacy are blunt weapons against those who lack rationale and reason. History shows this.

Our troops should stay, they are the horsemen of the free world, our heroes and our saviours from corrupt dictators and theocrats.
