Re: Anti-war answer for marbles
Irish,
Excellent post. I do agree with you that I'm hanging onto a lot of "ifs" by assuming that he will not disarm. Lately, I haven't bought much the administration has told me, but I do believe that Saddam has some ugly stuff buried under one of those sand dunes.
I don't think violating a resolution is, in itself, cause for war. But I really think that this particular guy violating this particular resolution is cause for action.
Since I believe he has weapons, I'm astounded that we haven't found jack squat. If only we could find one nasty weapon, I think the world (e.g. the 80%+ poll number you quoted) might change their opinion. It seems like this matter just boils down to:
When George Bush tells you Saddam has nasty weapons, do you believe him?
Seems like, in almost all cases, the answer a person gives you is the same as the answer to: Do you support a US invasion?
Anyway, my brain hurts. Gotta get back to work.
