1. You forget that it was Old Man Bush that got the UN to impose those stupid sanctions on Iraq.2. Quoting Blair, is simpily quoting another liar and part of this mess. 3. IF Bush had proven WMD..(key word "If")... but he didnt because there arent any. Thus making him like his Father and all Presidents for that matter, a Liar. 4. Liberia. Remember that the U.S. will not help (Invade) any Country where there arent interests there in the first place. Take a good look at Liberia. It should be clear what would interest the U.S. there. Also remember...Every Country we "Help" have to "Pay us back" in one way or another. 5. Clinton finally did do something in the Balkans. He blew up a Yugo Factory. 6. There is nothing in Rwanda that the U.S. wants enough to go "Help" them.

Most of the citizens in the UK have been against this war from day one. It only changed when the war started, and even then it only lasted until it was declared that the major offensive was over. You can attribute that to the fact we will always support our troops when they go into action. Now the opposition is as high as it was pre-war. Our press, particularly newspaper coverage here has been massively negative, in some ways I would suggest anti patriotic. As for Germany and France, well, they are the biggest hypocrites on the planet because both nations stood to gain by allowing the inspections to continue. They had multi billion dollar deals with Iraq to extract oil! Russia is similarly tarnished because its military harware was sold to Iraq and the Allied victory was going to cut off that revenue. As for China? Pah, forget that! They have some nerve talking about any issue connected with human rights! The nations that opposed the path through the UN had economic and political agendas that were almost invisible during the lead up to the conflict. Only a very few sources gave any creedence to this, and even then it was a drop in the ocean compared to the miles of coverage given to the 'legitimacy' of what the US/UK were proposing. How unbiased is that? You can think I am misled and I will disagree. I have never been of the opinion that the action against Iraq was anything other than 12 years late. Saddam should have been dealt with in GW1 and we failed to do that. He was a destabilising influence in the Middle East and his obsession with obtaining all kinds of armoury; chemical, biological and nuclear was scary to say the least. The WMD issue was not a part of my consideration into whether we should go into Iraq. He had to be removed, end of chat. This has nothing to do with the heart. This is cold logic, nothing else.
