First, I am neither prowar nor anti, but I really don't get some of the things people are saying.
Now, who's word are you supposed to take? Most people have made up their minds and will not budge. Iraq has chemical weapons, they always have and they've never PROVEN to get rid of them. This is what they were supposed to do, not play hide and seek with UN inspectors. The inspectors were supposed to be taken to sites where the destruction and disposal of these weapons took place. They never have. Iraq has these weapons, there is really no question of that. It rests on their shoulders to prove they've destroyed them, and should not rest on the UNs.
That said, I don't think Bush is doing things as well as he could. Patience does not seem to be something that cowboy learned. So I am for peace, of course (as is everyone, ultimately), and looking at alternatives. But Saddam does need to go, at some point.What upsets me is that people will point the finger at us and say it's all oil, and most of it is, but that's the same motivation for France not to participate - it will jeopardize their stakes in Iraq. Not to mention, Iraq is down at number 11 (I believe) for oil production.
It never is black and white, regardless if children are involved, and regardless of how everyone wants it to be. It never can be.
