"They are not at war with us. They have shown no open agression on our forces."

With all due respect, this one of the stupidest comments I've ever read.

Iraq has fired on coalition aircraft 85 times so far this year. As I remember it, the no-fly zones were implemented with U.N. approval whatever they may think now. In any case, I don't care what the U.N. says about them. Saddam agreed to them in order to save his sorry ass in 1991. Based on this alone, the war is still on.

No one denies that his agents tried to assasinate a former president of the United States. Based on THIS alone, the war is still on.

Saddam violated the terms of his surrender when he kicked out the UNSCOM weapons inspectors. Based on THIS alone, the war is still on.

One would have to be a fool to conclude that Saddam had no hand in Sept. 11. Czech intelligence continues to insist that Mohammed Atta met with Iraqi officials in Prague. Why would a man planning such an attack risk everything by travelling to Europe (and then having to re-enter the U.S.) just to have a friendly conversation with an Iraqi official? Based on THIS alone, the war is still on.

Whether you like it or not.

I know it seems nuts to say we are 'unprovoked'. LOL. But we are used to it. Iraq shooting at American planes is just another day, ho-hum. Iraq kicking out weapons inspectors is 'old news'. Sickening, isn't it?

I'm going to have to question your IQ.. did you not read what I said? Sigh.. regardless of your barbarian attitude i'll get you the benefit of the doubt and try to explain myself to you again. As I said previously.. I don't care about the UN either.. but world opinion is world opinion as I've stated before. I never said that I didn't want a war with them. I guess maybe inbetween my words you were able to pull out some hidden source code in which I was trying to manipulate anyone who read it with hynopic suggestions. I believe I was talking about the use of nukes but then again maybe I have some hidden agenda that even I don't know about.
