I served in SAC during Nam & the Cold War as part of a Nuke Disaster Preparedness Team. Due to the sensetive nature of the position, I learned a few things that I'm not at liberty to share. I can tell you this. We were taught about dealing with weapons of mass destruction. What they can do to people isn't acceptable. The world should take a moment to think about history. How many people died because of the world's failure to enforce the Treaty of Versailles? Why should Saddam have been allowed to thumb his nose at the UN? After Desert Storm he signed a Treaty, he didn't lived up to the sanctions. The cat and mouse game is now over. Saddam has been removed from power along with his regime. He was found hiding like a rat in a hole. He didn't even try to fight his way out. Just another cowardly bully who was nothing without thugs to do his dirty work. Why did some people of the world rally to protest a mass murderer from being stopped? Yes I'm talking about Saddam. He was a ruthless dictator. He was the only person to use NERVE GAS during a war, and on his own people despite the Geneva Convention's Ban on the use of such weapons. His ambition was the destruction of Israel. He was confident that the Arab world would have accepted him as their leader if he had succeeded. Are you tired of the Media HYPE moaning that we haven't found the WMD? I guess undeclared nucleur material doesn't count. Those mobile weapons labs were just designed to make fertilizer, RIGHT! The hunt continues. March 17, 2003, Sadamned finally ADMITTED that Iraq HAD possessed W.M.D. but had destroyed them all. That followed years of denial that they ever had them. What will it take to wake up the world that Sadamned was a madman who had to be stopped? I'm PROUD to be an American. Our soldiers sacrificed to free another countries people. I'll never buy another French, German, or Russian made product. They only wanted Iraq's Oil and continued commerce. France stopped any new UN resolutions by refusing to come to the negotiations. Could it be they were afraid we'd discover the weapons deals made after the 1991 UN Sanctions. This is the same mindless sentiment that allowed Hitler to build a mass army. Must we repeat history? Thank God President Bush was well aware of the dangers and acted through UN Resolution 1441.
> > I would not compare the completely unnecessary war in Iraq to WWII. Japan attacked the U.S.A. and Germany declared war against us. Iraq did not attack the United States nor is there any credible evidence that the government of Iraq supported the terrorists that attacked the United States on 9/11/01. There is not any evidence of an active program to produce weapons of mass destruction (WMDs), which was the justification for war. > > Keith > > Jim Lubin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > At 05:54 PM 8/26/2004, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > I wish sometimes that I was a politician.

The Democrats keep saying we need to get the UN involved.

Americans died liberating Europe in WWII. Would you call those deaths a sacrifice? > -- It's not the fall that hurts.
