Would you rather try rebuiling a country after a non conventional war, or take actions that would deter that posibility? Sadaam screwed himself, he had every opprotunity to come clean, he used the threat against us, and in the end it back fired on him. We do have every reason to suspect his involvemnt in those programs. I never stated that the nukes, and other reasons were not important or even a factor. I was just showing you the depth and scope of the offensive. Pictures have surfaced of war planes that should not have been in the Iraqi arsenal, also listed in the UN resoulution. I do not see how you can call the war illegal, or unjust, when as a mean to halt the offensive of the first gulf war, these resolutions were drafted. They violated these resolutions time and time again, which puts us in a position to wage war if we so chose. Clinton could have but decided not to, instead he goes into action in another arena. I really don't think most americans are in the posistion to run a country or make thses decisions. We look to our leaders for that, we do have a say, but is it our right in this country to add War on the ballot? I like that fact that we can disagree, that's why we fight to keep our freedoms, because in the cold era of the USSR, your comments would get you and your entire family relocated to prison in the snow. Our system is far from pefect, we need to fix many aspects of our own country, but first need to ensure a future for the country. That sometimes comes with a huge price tag, often War...

Either way your arguement is weakened by the fact that congress had already (privately) voted to go to war, prior to the statements the President made in that now famous address. Democrates and Republicans both agreed on the war in congress, now that the election is upon us, they need to find some ground to assualt the President and or the current adminsitration, hence the attack of the Presidents address (claiming WMD's as a concern)...
