Ill solve this real quick:
Iraq broke UN resolutions. SEVENTEEN of them. He had TWELVE years to disarm. We made a new resolution allowing force and military action to be taken if he did not disarm, Resolution 1441. He thumbed his nose at it. He hid weapons, hindered inspection processes, and broke the rules of the international law as set by the U.N. based on the cease fire agreement of Gulf War I.
Simple as that. Nothing else needed. We, the main country with balls in the world, went to take care of business and punish the snippy child. The first day, he fires a SCUD missile. He, by the terms of the cease fire and resolutions, can not possess SCUD missiles. Broke the rules. Blix didnt find that missle? Whatever.
Also, there were reports from intelligence sources that Saddam gave orders to oufit missles with chemical and biological weapons. Ya know, the things he does not have?
"Give time for the inspections to work", that is the big calling card of the anti-war movement. Well, guess what? THEY DID WORK! They showed he didn't disarm, and we are now taking care of business.
After examining the facts, the only way you could be truly against this war is if a) you are a peacenik, which in of itself is not a bad thing or b) you are just a bush hater. I dont care if Clinton or Gore would have done this fight, it would have been right all the same. Clinton was right to missle Saddam back during the Monica stuff, just the timing had sucked.
