Rumors of Nukes found in Iraq...Follow

We are or the Iraqi people are?

We are. The people of Iraq have no power to put anyone in charge of anything. They can't assign a dogcatcher.

My point exactly we were late in WWII are we to make the same mistake with Iraq and wait until hundreds of thousands have died and Iraq, Iran, Syria, and Egypt invade Israel and purge the entire mid-east and europe of any non believer?


You know I think Germany might attack the UK again. I guess we have no choice but to bomb the fu[b][/b]ck out of it.

I think we need to take all the beer and sausage first. I would really hate to see it go to waste, being blown up and all.

Really? Germany did that? They seemed so nice, too.

Awww, ****, I found some nukes in back yard the other day and threw them away. They were labeled "Property of Iraq". Please believe me, and vote for bush again.

Ah so according to your logic treaties don't really count when they go against something you believe in? That sounds about right. Now for the real world when treaties, or contracts, are breached there are repercussions.

No, my point is that there's a spectrum of responses when a nation breaks a treaty. Much as there is a specturm of responses when a person breaks a contract.

Let's say I lease a car, sign the contract and everything, and then decide I'm not going to pay for it. I've broken the contract. The spectrum of responses for the leaser ranges from doing nothing, to suing me, to persuing criminal charges etc.

The argument you're making with the spurrious treaty bullsh[b][/b]it is analagous to the leaser of the car shooting in me the frace for breaking the contract being justified.

Breaking a treaty doesn't justify invading a country.

No more like when a known homicidal dictator ejects inspectors that were looking for weapons of mass destruction.


Then let's them back in and the body that is in charge of the inspections refuses to authorize force?

Like that, sort of? Then the head of the inspection team writes a book about what a horrible overreaction it was to invade the dictator's country?

Like that?

You guys are missing a huge point here. Sure, the US (and many nations) break, bend, spindle, and otherwise bypass hundreds of items in various treaties every year. It's "normal" politics to get away with as much as you can.

Um... Iraq wasn't just violating the terms of a treaty. They were violating the terms of a Cease Fire Agreement. For the uninformed out there, there's a subtle, but very significant difference between a treaty and a cease fire. Look it up if you are confused...

Oh, you mean like North Korea is doing?

Like that?


You're getting closer but you've forgotten to mention that the head of the inspection teams was a frenchmen whose country had a vested interest in the Iraqi status quo not american safety. You're getting better though, keep trying and you'll get there.


He's from Sweeden you ignorant motherfu[b][/b]ker. Have you every had a whole post without any glaring lies in it? I fI didn't know better I'd think you were doing it on purpose.

I almost can't beleive anyone could be that slow and still be able to master typing.

Sure. Several points though:

The UN is not moving to normalize the status of North Korea right at this moment.

If they were, this would likely be seen as a good thing rather then a bad thing by the US.

North Korea hasn't openly threatened to attack us, or called upon other nations and terrorist organizations to attack us.

North Korea is orders of magnitude less related to Middle Eastern terrorism then Iraq was.

There are a number of stabilizing forces in the region where North Korea is that we can use to keep things from getting out of hand there (China, Russia, Japan, just to name a few).

There are virtually no useful stabilizing forces in the region around Iraq.



I could go on. The point is that the differences between the two situations are staggering. Making any comparison between them is a ridiculous oversimplification of the political situations in those two regions and our relations with those two countries.

Only one difference that's relevant. Iraq has vast, accessible Oil Reserves.

What's worrying is that NK's claims to have similar reserves has been dismissed as propaganda until recently when Daewoo and Stanton have started paying a great deal of attention to these claims.

If they find any there, how long til Dubya does a u-turn on policy towards NK
