Any of the nations you list ever used WMD on their own people?

Maybe, maybe not, but did Iraq? From a pentagon report:

<< Having looked at all of the evidence that was available to us, we find it impossible to confirm the State Department's claim that gas was used in this instance. To begin with there were never any victims produced. International relief organizations who examined the Kurds ? in Turkey where they had gone for asylum ? failed to discover any. >>

Ever used them on people from another country?

Egypt:

<< During the Yemen War of 1963 through 1967, Egypt evidently used mustard bombs in support of South Yemen against royalist troops in North Yemen. >>

...

<< For sevarl years prior to the 1991 Gulf War, Egypt was believed to have been working with Iraq on the production and stockpiling of chemical weapons. >> !!!

Are their leaders guilty of genocide by use of WMD?

Again, see the first question...1400 (alleged, unconfirmed by human rights/relief groups) deaths is hardly a genocide.

Do they harbor, aid, or assist terrorist groups?

Again, does Iraq? The best evidence of Iraq aiding and abetting terrorists has come from zealots who claim "They hate the US and so does bin Laden, so they are CLEARLY on the same side."

Have they attacked and invaded two of their sovereign neighboors?

Egypt? Yep. Israel? Yep.

First and formost Saddam ADMITTED having WMD to the UN in a 12,000 page document.
Second of all we have captured terrorist training camps, not too mention arrested Iraqi "diplomats" who had attacks planned on 14 targets worldwide.
The attackson the Kurds are well documented and were part of a larger program, not one single incident. It is interesting to note the people attacked readily identified the planes andcoptors as Iraqi, not Iranian.

I would agree with you on Israel though, and so would the US govt, which is why they have taken a hard line with Israel regarding the land acquired during their illegal settlements, these lands will be part of the new Palestinuian state, created in LARGE part from our efforts.

If that happens then I pray to god that we sustain a good number of casualities, because only then will the American public put pressure on Bush to get the hell out of the middle east.

...

And I pray they draft you first.

Now that Iraq has fallen, what is the next country to preemptively invade because they have WMD and could be a potential threat to national security?

Who's next?

In the short term I do not think it is going to be any country in the Middle East. Bush is moving air craft carriers and air craft out of the area.
In the long term, how about North Korea?

Afghanistan---World support, because of the Taliban's refusal to turn over Al Qaeda
Iraq---Limited support by certain nations, but likely to eventually be accepted as legitimate due to the somewhat reasonable ties to UN resolutions
Syria/Iran---??

If the US chooses to continue invading countries as part of the WoT, Global criticism will turn into Global resistance. Bush is playing a dangerous game, sure, the US could do all sorts of things, but even Hitler was allowed to carry out some actions because others felt he was somewhat justified(and he certainly had the means to do so). As Hitler found out, some lines can not be crossed without severe consequences.

Hitler was committing genocide, Bus his going after terrorists, wheres the connection?

We have the support of at least 50 countires, with 4 major dissenters, all made illegal sales to Iraq and accepted money for support......

If you wish to persist with silly statements like that I will gladly provide some links to many of your other posts that show your true feelings about this action.

I'll admit that I was a little sarcastic before, but the more of what I read about why it was so important to preemptively attack, I realized that it's a good idea. I've heard all the pro-war arguments, and have come to the conclusion that it's important the US seize the momentum now. They accused Syria of having WMD, they're known to dislike America and support terrorism. Ditto with Iran. If we take them down now, they their WMD will not fall into terrorists hands. We need to send a message that countries that are suspected of having WMD and ties to terroism will not be permitted in the new world order.

Countries can do a lot to us. Have you ever heard of boycotting? What if 90% of the world boycotted American goods because they no longer trusted us? Could you imagine what that would do to our economy? We had better watch it, because we are going to isolate ourselves from most of the world if our behavior continues.

I guess you don't understand international politics...

Trusting us is one thing... I don't think many will distrust us because we are getting rid of terrorist states and weapons...

The connection(possibly) is a nation gone amock.

WOW Myamar and Micronesia support us! We must be right!

There is no next. The Bush administration doesn't have the balls, and better yet, doesn't have the proof. The proof being that nations who have WMD are closely tied to terrorist organizations who target the US.

I would like to personally endorse all axis-of-evil nations to begin developing nuclear weapons as a deterrent for the US to attempt another regime-change. Then maybe Bush will stop looking for percentage points abroad and focus on something like the sad state of our system of education, the job market, and the environment.
