Last I heard, "WMD" does not include gas, but is mostly limited to nuclear weapons.WMD include chemical/biological/nuclear. A WMD is a weapon that "mass destructs" (it does what it says on the tin).
Quote:
the "Coalition of the Willing" has not found any in Iraq, nor have they ever offered any proof to even convincingly suggest that nuclear weapons exist in Iraq.There was never any question of that anyway, it was chemical/biological that were being searched for. Although recently a high level of radio-activity was found at one site.

the US has already indicated that its next two targets are Iran and North KoreaNot to my knowledge.
Quote:
What is going to happen if the US goes to war with North Korea? North Korea gets a chance to actually use their bombs against someone?I think the US are aware of that =)
Quote:
What happened on 9/11 was meant to send a message to America - not to the west, but to America: bugger off. We don't want you messing around in international affairs that don't concern you."International" - dictionary definition:
Existing, involving, or carried out between two or more nations.

So what does America do? It does just that. It launches a major offensive "against terrorism" by attacking old enemies of the United States - Iraq, Iran, and North Korea are old unfinished business for the US.Rightly so. The hatred towards America already exists. They can either do sweet FA and have more terrorist attack them or they can take some initiative and wipe them out. Sure, in the short term there may be issues but if the coalition succeeds I expect we will see bucket loads of hypocrites who suddenly think America is wonderful for standing up for themselves, and the global community.
Quote:
These attacks, as we all know, are not widely popular - in fact, most developed, western countries have substantially more resentment against the US than they did before."Most"...does that include the 45 coalition countries
Quote:
So the US not only blatantly ignored this message, it in fact has pursued action that will probably make the situation worse.Ahh I see, so you are suggesting that governments should heed the advice of terrorsits...yeah good idea.
Quote:
Thus the only conclusion I can make is that the war with Iraq - good or evil - is simply a continuation of the war started more than a decade ago, and that terrorism was just an excuse to continue it.The job was not done in removing Saddam in Gulf War Part 1 so sure, it is a continuation.
