1.  Whether the U.S. finds WMD in Iraq is irrelevant.  We know they were there (at some point) because he used them on the Kurds and Iranians.

2.  Saddam had a duty to (1) not possess WMD, and (2) prove that those he did have had been destroyed.  He failed on #2 at least.

3.  By failing to cooperate with U.N. inspectors and by constantly firing on coalition aircraft patroling the no-fly zones, Saddam breached the terms of the cease-fire that paused Desert Storm (a totally justifiable war).  This alone was sufficient justification to resume the war and oust him.

The way I see it, it's exactly like a criminal being on parole.  You can be thrown back in jail for extremely minor offenses - but you aren't "going to jail for 20 years because you got caught with a little weed" - you're going to jail for 20 years because you didn't live up to the terms of your parole.



>> Of course there were mass destruction weapons in the Iraq, because the US gave it to them.<<

So what?  He had a duty to destroy them and provide proof thereof.

>>But despite any facts, if there were or if there weren't any mass destructive weapons, offense is NEVER defense.<<

Sure it is, particularly when the target has proven its intentions through past behavior.

>>Nobody had the right to attack Iraq, just because there was a hind that they could have had mass destructive weapons. There are many countries in the world with mass destruction weapons. Where would life go, if everybody would start an offense just for defense?<<

Those other countries are responsible in their use (that is, non-use) of them.  See #3 above for the 'right' to attack Iraq.  Again, he wasn't attacked because he had them (Bush's comments nothwithstanding).  He was attacked because he wouldn't cooperate, which was a term of the cease-fire in the 1990 war.


>>So if you claim a high moral for your country, you can't attack someone, just because you are afraid of what he could do.<<

In principle, you're right - but you've got the facts wrong.  We attacked him because of what he DID do.

We attacked him for (1) invading Kuwait, (2) gassing the Kurds, (3) torturing his people, (4) failing to cooperate with U.N. inspectors, (5) firing on our aircraft, and (6) generally being a jerk while committing all of the above.

>>Americans are hypocrites, they always say "In God we trust", but they don't follow some of the most important rules of christianity.<<

Irrelevant in politics.   But that said, there is nothing unbiblical about dealing harshly with thugs and criminals.
