As I have stated Saphonia
if we never find WMD in Iraq it will not be (in my opinion) because the adminstration lied they had to much invested
in
finding those weapons to continue the campain.
The motivation to be absolutely right would over power any other decision otherwise they could not continue to do what they were doing (War on
Terror). So it does not take an Einstein to realize that there was absolutly no motivation at all for lying if the weapons were not their.
Keep in mind we went into Bosnia because of Ethnic Cleansing, the French are currently in the Congo as a result of the application of terror tactics
upon the people of that country eash of these issue's are the result of the violation of Humanitarian rights.
The only problem with going into Iraq due to the issue of mass graves, torture and human rights abuses is that in reality. The issues which were
present in Iraq which compared to Bosnia and the Congo, was not being reported by the UN or any Humanitarian interests groups.
The funny part is that folk will excuse anything...the president is not allowed to lie about something as important as war no matter his reasons.
but that's all perception you may think his lies are justified and in that case i will laugh at you...one of those deep belly oh my god i'm going to
die kinda laughs.
Did you watch meet the press today?

If one regards common sense of value then one looks at motivations for committing an act and draws conclusions based upon those motivations.
Skadi_the_Evil_Elf I think the UN conspired to commit a violation/abuse of human rights, they did so to keep military forces out of Iraq for a purpose
which would have been made apparent once sanctions were removed. As a result of those effort 210,000 people are dead those governments/leaders who
fought
tooth and nail against the war with Iraq may in fact be guilty of murder. The entirety of the Arab press as well failed to report what was going on
puts them in
the mix not to mention the humanitarian rights organizations.
Not only
are they guilty of murder but as well could have conspired to make certain the WMD Iraq was alleged to have may not be found.
My issues are not related to trust but rather the motivations the US government had. For making no error or conspiring to hide the idea there were
no weapons in Iraq. As well as what are the motivations for others interested in this conflict.
Specifically those who allowed so many people to die without intervention despite the fact they were imbedded.
Common sense in this situation was simply ignored with respect to what Saddam Hussein would have done to people in his country after GW1.
Inspectors whose function was to investigate human rights violations should have been in Iraq all along.
To me there is no excuse for this to have occured
GW1 was authorized by the UN as such the UN did have the final say as to when it ended and what happened to Iraq once it ended.
As far as kowing somthing you do not I really cannot say, as I do not know you
I know who I am though
What are your thoughts?
