Why enact resolution 1441 if you don't intend on doing anything about it? It is clear that some nations (i.e. the French) will never pull the trigger regardless of the threats in front of their nose. I have thought like you up to this point, however, I think the US Gov has more classified materials than is being shared with the press. We are seeing more dem's and repulicans coming out and calling Sadham what he really is, a threat to his people and the rest of the world. The United Nations would debate this to eternity.

The other factor to this is how long is it going to take to accomplish the mission. I don't claim to have all the answers, but the fact is we're going to war and it is undisputable that this guy is a menace.
If the U.S. government had secrets that it couldn't share with the general public that would be one thing. But don't you think that they could share that classified information between the heads of state? Apparently whatever was discussed was not able to convince any other countries.... that is a sad statement.

I don't believe that the french, the russians, the germans, (oh, and the rest of the world ) are necessarily anti-war, its that the case the government has laid out has not been convincing. Just because Pres. Bush says one thing does not make it necessarily true. Let me as this, has the government had a history of telling the truth? I think not.

So we have Saddam Hussein who doesn't want to comply with the U.N. and so we now want him out. Isn't the U.S. just as guilty? We've thumbed our noses at what the U.N. thinks...Sad.

I'm pro U.S. and Anti-Bush...

And one last comment, we can support our troops without supporting the war.
