there. jeez, they havent found Saddam either, does that mean he never
existed, or that they got rid of him too before the war started?
I dont believe the US did anything wrong in this situation, except for not
acting sooner. The Iraqis lost the first gulf war which they started. In
order to end the war they signed a bunch of papers saying they wouldnt do
certain things (wmd's being only on of them), they then proceeded to violate
many of those conditions (like extended range missiles, allowing inspectors,
etc).
When you lose a war and sign a surrender, which is a contract, and you
violate the articles therin, then you are back to a state of war.
Did I miss something? Or is that what happened in Iraq?

Personally, I want America to feel this economically. I want the us to have
to pay the price for lying and attacking with no provocation.
I say that as a staunch supporter of America. It's tough love. If we do
something wrong, we shouldn't reap the benefits. It's that simple. I don't
want the US to be the Mafia of the world.
