Now Rick,
I even agreed somewhat on your previous post and now your getting your feathers a littled ruffled. I will not lash out anymore and apoligize the times I did in the past. Will try to stick with your thoughts in this and future replies.
What has Sadam done in the past year? you are right, nothing that we know, other that what our government intelligence has told us. With Sadam, letting him do his hidden nothings and what we should be concerned about. Another examply would be North Korea, quietly making there Nukes.
I do think Rick you would agree Sadam is not a nice, if not evil, man. Do you think a man like this will find religion and reform?? When the tragedy of 9/11 occurred, there was a worldwide outpouring of sympathy and disgust of such a heartless and cruel act. Any sane, decent human being would be sickened of the evil that would deliberately murder innocent people. Sadam was one of the few countries that applauded the event.
I think I told you already that I have a closed friend that is from Iran, he is a very intelligent man, CEO of an Aerospace company. Said that part of the world, especially Iraq is run by Dictators that will dispose of you if you don't fully agree with their agenda. He is thankful to be in the United States.
This world will always have the Sadams, Bin Ladin, Hitlers, Stalins, etc., and there will be more wars. But, what is different in my opinion, is that if we allow a Sadam to gain the same strength as a Hitler, this would lead to WWIII and with our technology we would no longer exist. I don't know if war with Iraq is the right action, but, do beleive we must support our our leaders in whatever dicision they make, based upon what they know.
Our support is also a statement to the world and the Sadams, that we cannot be taken lightly. Remember what the Japanese Admiral said after their victory in the attack on Pearly Harbor?? Waking a sleeping Lion, because a united nation with the full support of the people, was going to be their foe.
