Iraq was in the process of developing nuclear weapons.
UN inspectors also admitted how easy it is for Iraq to conceal chemical and
biological 
weapons from inspections which Iraq has a history of using.

The problem with Sadam H. is he can not be trusted and he is a ruthless
leader.
Why do you want diplomacy with Iraq when you can not trust the government?
Because country's like France, Germany, and Russia who oppose the war have
huge "deals" 
with Iraq so there is much financial interest in objecting this war.
If you have an open window of opportunity to overtake a country like Iraq it
is best to act on 
this opportunity.

I'm talking about Islamic Fundamentalist, people behind terrorist attacks
such as 9/11 which 
targets the American civilian population, not  Islam.
I support United States as a super power, I much rather see US dominance of
the world and 
eventually a New World Order promoting a more modern technological system of
living 
where people do have the freedom of expression something some of you list
members do not 
understand or take for granted.

I've been watching the BBC as well as the American networks and I also
understand the 
anti-war stance.
I disagree with the anti-war people, this is not Vietnam, 21'st Century
warfare like with Iraq
servers a natural course in globalization.
