I didn't say that all nations should be dealt with in the same manner, just that if some of the UN resolutions are going to be enforced that all of them should be. That is I didn't say how they should be enforced just that they should. It may be that the only way to enforce UN resolutions on...

I don't think that anybody can say that say that Saddam hasn't defied every UN resolution since the Gulf War. My problem with Bush's war on Iraq is that this is an issue for the United Nations and not just the United States. There are several nations in violation of UN resolutions, but Bush is...

My orignal post was in response to a specific point in Dari's original post. That going to war so that he could fill up his gas tank was wrong. I haven't yet said whether or not there were any valid reasons for going to war with Iraq and I haven't yet said anything else about his other comments...

I believe I have the right war. Kosovo was part of a larger conflict that included all of the former Yugoslavia. The war in Kosovo was between different ethnic groups not nations and their boundaries. I'm not even going to get into labeling the good guys from the bad guys and who was responsible...

Looks like I'm making a little progress here. Maybe I'll stick around.

At the time only the former states of Yugoslavia were fighting each other, but the different ethnic groups that were fighting each other held majorities in neighboring contries. Albania and Greece were two of them and if NATO had not interfered, Albania and Greece would have became involved to...

Why should I be crying for you. You seem to be in a much better position than the average Iraqi. If seeing it my way means that I value human life more than a dollar, I think that I made the right choice.

Good question. It seems that the answer is yes and no. There were resolutions by the UN Security Council calling for Serbia to take certain actions that it failed to do leading NATO to bomb them without a specific resolution calling for force. Could be useful in the current situation to see what...

Read my post carefully. There is a lot of death and suffering in this world. But the United States did not kill the Shias or the Kurds. Saddam did. Dari here is advocating that the United States should go in and kill Iraqis so that he can pay less for gas. I am not turning a blind eye to the...

I believe that we did have a real reason to go and bomb Serbia. The entire Balkan region was in a state of civil war that threatened to spill over into the rest of Europe. We put troops in Albania to keep them out of it and troops in Macedonia to keep Greece out of it. Instabilities in that...

So you are willing to let hundreds of thousands of Iraqis die so that you have to pay 10 cents less for gas. The real effect from the US siezing Iraqi oil fields would more likely be the stablizing of oil prices rather than a large decline in oil prices. Do you really think that the American oil...

Reading your other posts, I would have thought that you meant that the rest of the world is irrelevent.
