Can you explain to anyone what exactly it is that upsets you about the war?
Then explain what other wars upset you to an equal degree.
There are lots of wars and conflicts in the world that the UN did not "give permission" for. Why is is that Iraq is the one that really makes you upset?
Because the following things.
1. The false causes given.
Blix wanted more time to search for the WMD´s
In this he was brushed off and statment from countryleaders that Iraq had the ability to deploy WMD within 45 min.
If more time was given, maybe, UN would have came to the same conclusion that it took USA nearly 1200 men during 2 years and a budget of 700 million dollars.
2. The use of your double standard.
A dictatorship can never be good, but use this argument to attack a soverign country is a little strong.
If this was the real reason, then why didnt you start out liberating in South America or Saudi-Arabia, where actully most of the terrorists attackers from 911 came?
(because these dictatorship are sponsered and supported by USA?)
3. The claimes that the goverment of Iraq had close bonds to Al-quada. Not proven to be correct.
Simple said, your reasons to make a country suffer so much, to kill civilians, women and children.
To be cowards, to let it happend so far away. Without risk to get retaliated.
Yes, You are really cowards to hit guys that cant hit back.
