As an American I am deeply troubled by George W Bush's seeming intention to force Saddam Hussein out of power by unilateral military action. Absent clear notice from the UN inspectors that Iraq currently has or is trying to develop weapons of mass destruction I do not think the United States has the legal, moral or ethical right to invade another country that has not taken overt military action against us. It's not enough that it might have weapons that it might use against us. I think the United Staes should act together with the United Nations to resolve this issue. I do believe that during the Gulf War the United States would have been justified in capturing the Iraqi army and in ousting Hussein at that time. I fully supported our invasion of Afghanistan and believe it was necessary, legal, moral and the right thing to do.
