I'm not saying that we have the right to do what we did in Iraq. Whether or not it was the right thing to do I don't care, I'm glad we did. I know that we are just that much more secure now that he is no longer in power.

Even if Sadam didn't have WMD, he wanted us to think that he did. He didn't let the inpectors do their job on purpose so that we couldn't prove that he didn't. I think he wanted us to be afraid of him and what he could do to us. He ruled his people with fear and wanted everyone to think that he was powerful, I think 9/11 was the worst thing to happen for Sadam Insane.

What's more important to you your own personal safety or being politically correct.

I see it kind of like this. You at school(the world) with dozens of other people (countries) and some asshole(Iraq) is trying to get you to think that he's got a gun. Your pretty popular and lot's of people like you, because you try to be nice and help other people, but lot's of people hate you too because you can't mind your own damn business. So anyway youv'e fought this guy before for picking on a freind of yours who sells you... oil . You know he's a wuss and can't fight so your pretty sure he's got a gun and want's to kill you. You ask some neutral people to go find out if he really has a gun but he won't let them. So what do you do then?

I'd just kick the guys ass then say whoops. I guess you didn't have a gun after all. Sorry,but that's what you get for screwing with me. Then the guy goes to the hospital and your having to pay the medical bill. Now everyone hates you because they say you shouldn't have done that he didn't have a gun and you had no right.

Not to step on toes, But i think Saddam thought he had WMD. Do you think he honestly went to the facilities, no, that puts him in a very public, very unsafe place, very much unlike Saddam. On the other hand, you have the scientists and other researchers trying to make these weapons. Are you, knowing Saddams reputation of punishment, (i.e. Rape of you{if applicable} your mom and sisters, public stoning, flogging, draining of half the blood in your body until you die, and other types of torture), going to tell him that you do not have the WMD that he has been funding you for? I think not, you tell Saddam Huessein whatever he wants to hear, and maybe you live. You tell him what he doesn't want to hear, and you can just as easily put your head between your knees and kiss your butt goodbye. Saddam, in my opinion, believed full well that he had WMD, and therefore, so did we. To Saddam, The US, and the rest of the world, he had the weapons, and they were just in hiding. Now that we go in, we find that they don't exist, oh well, it is still a humanitarian relief. Do you remember what their life was like before we came in? This is a real step in peace, and I as a bush hater, can say this is one thing he has done right. Bringing a chance at peace to a part of the world that hasn't experianced it since the neolithic revolution.

As for North Korea, the president of North Korea (can't remember how to spell his name), may be a psychopathic lunatic, but he isn't stupid. The man has maximum of 2 nuclear weapons, he is not going to use them. He is going to hold onto them like a baby with a blanket. He KNOWS that the United States code of conduct in war is to not use nuclear weapons, unless they have been used on us first. Were not going to touch him and he knows it. If he uses them, whats he got left??? Nothing. The countries that should worry are Japan and South Korea and China. He has threated them, and accepted bribes to make sure they don't get bombed. He is in it for the money, and his own protection. No one is going to use his weapons against another country, because if you attack a country in the UN with nuclear arms, you can say your last prayers cause there isn't a whole deep enough for you to hide.

Back to the topic of this thread. Using the military is not the way for world peace, but neither is disarment. Sure it would be nice to get all the weapons out of this world, but it won't happen. Humans are naturally violent, how do you think we beat out are predicessors, sitting down and asking if they wanted to live, no, we killed them. We learned to survive, and we killed anything that would prevent our survival. There is no way weapons will be gone, and all forms of organised government needs some type of military. Hey, even Canada has a military. The point is, it should never be used, only a way to waste money It is to keep drugs out of the borders, and protect it's borders from invaders that shouldn't be using their army. If a country uses their army, the rest of the world should be able to unite and end the conflict. This is a means of peace, but it won't happen at the rate things are going now. Why go for world peace? give every communitry peace, and you give world peace. Too many people try to fix the big problem, without looking at the small things that lead up to the problem. Each community has it's own weakness that if improved, would make world peace. Hey, it's a dream, but a far fetched one at that.

FYI: the new president of Iraq is Kurdish, not Sunni or Shi'ite
