You know this had been going on for almost 30 years now, with the US, and pretty much every western country help and understanding and blessing. Tell me what is so different now, that the US and Britain MUST wage a war, that was not true in the 80's? Why now? Why did Reagan provide Iraq AND Iran with weapons? Why did Bush Sr NOT help the rebellion in Iraq. Why would there be now such a keen interest in human rights and democracy that was not worth 10 years ago? So now the western countries are going to amend themselves by invading Iraq, killing more civilians against the will of the MAJORITY of the world. just for the sake of feeling good?
Yeah, that might seem like a human and sensible plan to some, but I shall disagree.
