No bashing, but.....

I think it funny that you consider USA to be the only ones who would be in danger from Iraq. Should the rest of the world not be concerned if Iraq has WOMD? This issue is way more involved than the "defense" of America, and the rest of the world is not buying into it.

I never said that only the U.S. is in danger from Iraq. And I agree, the rest of the world should be concerned that Iraq has WMD. But just because much of the rest of the world isn't concerned, and doesn't want to do anything doesn't mean that the U.S. shouldn't do something in order to protect ourselves.

If other countries are willing to sit back and wait for Hussein to hand off his WMD to terrorists, more power to them - naivete is not illegal. However, that doesn't mean that the U.S. should do the same.

Unfortunately, sometimes it comes to a use of force. We negotiated with Japan right up until the day they bombed Pearl Harbor. Europe turned a blind eye to Hitler until he become an almost unstoppable force.

I don't buy into that this is purely for oil or for personal revenge on Bush's part. I trust our system of government's checks and balances that helps to rule out personal vendettas. There is a problem that is becoming clearer and clearer to many....Tony Blair is not a stupid man and he wouldn't be putting his entire political future on the line if he didn't see a greater good coming out of a show of force.

The Muslim extremists have said all along that the West had no stomach for war and would not fight. It appears that they are almost correct in their thinking.
