We did not give him any chemical weapons. Several countries around the world sold him precursor dual use chemicals. That is just another propaganda lie.

Part of the cease fire agreement was that he had to declare what he had and proove that he distroyed them all. He gave us a list, and never provided proof that he got rid of them. He agreed to do this and never did it. That was legal reason enough for us to remove him.

All he had to do was proove that he destroyed them, and the sanctions would have been lifted. He chose to be ambiguous about it, because he thought no one would attack him if they thought he had the weapons. He was obviously wrong on that one.

Having an evil dictator be 'the balance of power' is not my idea of a good thing. This argument that we are creating terror is just dumb. The terrorists already exist. They are flooding into Iraq right now. We are hunting them down and killing them. They know if they lose their days of fooling their people are over.

There has to be something to turn the power over to first. You are arguing the French perspective here. It is ridiculous to assume we can just pull out and everything will work out. The Iraqis have said that they need time to get their government in order. Our new resolution leaves the timetable to the Iraqis themselves. I think that is the fairest thing that could be done, considering it is their country.
