[QUOTE]Originally posted by Austin Powers: [QB] Originally posted by Grokca: [QUOTE] Well FOT you are making my point of more inspections quite well, Thank you. From the discussions you've had with your little internet friend, it shows that the US evidence has got to be checked out on the ground to be validated. So again good reason to have inspections, poor reason to go in killing a bunch of Iraqi civilians. And it still doesn't answer why this evidence was not given to the inspectors in the first place, so they could do their jobs. You know, like the famous resolution that the US admin. keeps bandying about. [/QUOTE]Exactly. If the U.S. believe in their evidence, then they should send the inspectors to validate their (proposed) findings - and cooperate with the inspectors from the start, not withhold apparently crucial information for so long. Why the delay if it's so important?? By the way who says the satellite images haven't been tampered with. Any Photoshop buff could do the trick. By which I don't want to imply that this HAS happened - I just want to make you think about the possibility. After all, faking evidence to use it as a pretext for war has happened quite frequently in the history of warfare. Originally posted by First of Two: [QUOTE] If any countries's intelligence agencies had any good doubts about what Powell said our photo experts said was in the photos, especially the agencies of Russia, Germany, France, and China, who would do just about anything to thwart the US at this juncture, wouldn't you expect them to say so? [/QUOTE]They did say what everybody knew. That the evidence presented didn't reveal anything new or unknown up to now. And they insisted on giving the inspectors more time for thorough research. War doesn't solve the problem - but it will create a lot of new ones! Originally posted by TSN: [QUOTE] Yes, there are a very very efficient way of killing people indiscriminantly and en masse. They are, however, a very very inefficient way of killing any specific people. [/QUOTE]That's an important point. Nukes should NEVER be used - no matter what the circumstance. They shouldn't have been invented at all, but unfortunately that mistake can't be undone. But certainly they shouldn't be used in this conflict either. Talk about opening Pandora'a Box!! When the U.S. used nukes in WW2 on Japan, the situation was different. They were the only ones who had that weapon. If the U.S. used nukes nowadays, then what would stop say North Korea, Pakistan, India, Russia, China, ... from saying "Hey if you can, why can't we?". Armageddon would be just a small step away, doesn't anyone in the higher ranks sense that? WHY ON EARTH ARE THE U.S. SO KEEN ON GOING TO WAR??? Give me some SENSIBLE reasons - not the usual "we must bomb Iraq to the stone-age to show them their place in the world for supporting Saddam for so long"! Oh and one other thing: if the U.S. want to get rid of countries that proliferate weapons of mass destruction, then they should start by going to war against themselves - before they turn to other nations. Hypocrits! [/QB][/QUOTE]
