Actually, my understanding of the Treaty of Versailles is that its implementation and the resulting economic distress imposed upon Germany by the Allies, principally France, created the conditions that caused Adolph Hitter's rise to power.
Everybody knows that at one time Iraq had a very active chemical weapons program and an active nuclear weapons program, but it seems clear that it was dismantled well before the United States invaded. If there was any credible evidence whatsoever of an active weapons program, wouldn't the Bush Administration have brought it to the public's attention?

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?
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.
I'm 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 f! ree 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.

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.
