It is true they have different opinions and are probably enemies to an extent. But they do have a common enemy......the US. Sometimes that can cause people to work together who normally would not.
Sometimes it is, that's true. But you or your government have no evidence for this happening in this case (at least they did not share them with us and not. However, according to a poll conducted in the US, 55% of the people asked claim that Saddam is directly responsible for the 9/11-terrorism. Think about that. What's going on here? There is no proof for that!
The inspectors were not doing their job. It was too easy for Saddam's people to hide the evidence. As far as giving them enough time.....Saddam had already broke the time limit several times.
Is this what the media told you?
Well, then. According to my informations and according to what the UN and most of it's participating countries think and what the inspectors told themselves, they in fact WERE doing their work.
What the inspectors also told was that the US did not work together with them in the amount they wanted them to, which means that the US government did not give them all information they had and which would have been important etc. etc.
What is it you are going to tell us now?
You know who sold weapons to Saddam as well? A guy from the USA did. Rumsfeld is his name. You know what happened to him lately? Well, I guess you know that.
We are talking about war. We are talking about killed innocent people, children amongst them. We are not talking about Saddam being imprisoned.
The conflict was not over JUST chemical and biological weapons but ANY weapons of mass destruction. Does the US have chemical and biological weapons? I don't know it's possible but doubtful.
LOL.
OF COURSE THEY HAVE!
Thats a well known *fact*. Please inform yourself. They own much, much more weapons of mass destruction, biological, chemical and nuclear weapons than any other country in the world. It is even known that the US has FORBIDDEN weapons and it is known that they even use some of them. Furthermore it is known that they hinder the UN-inspectors to check these weapons. It is known that they brought forbidden chemical weapons to the iraq in order to use them there (e.g. a nerve gas similar to that used in this theatre in russia lately, which are forbidden by UN resolutions -- resolutions which YOU want the iraq to obey but which your own government doesn't!)
Think about that (I am currently not at homw, but if you want to I can give you detailed information on every of my claims later).
The difference is that Saddam actually used them, and what's worse he used them on innocent people to test them and see how they would work.
The USA did that as well. Maybe not in the past 10 years, but they tested a lot of different weapons on innocent people.
Today, at THIS moment, they try weapons with KNOWN effects on innocent people (of the iraq).
He used his own countrymen to test these weapons.
Oh well, the USA doesn't do thet. They try them out on other countries people...

Double-moralism or what?
Let's see..........make that 12 years, not weeks or days.
The condition for the US pulling out of Iraq during the first gulf war was for Saddam to dismantle his weapons of mass destruction. That was in 1991.
I don't know about Israel and Palestine, that is a different subject.
The US is in no threat from these two countries so why should we intervene?
