may i remind you that a threat of violence is not violence, and can you explain why the united states feels the need to fight israels battles? when was it that israel became the 51 state? claiming that america had a legitimate reason for attacking Iraq defies logic, the main reason for attacking Iraq ( according to George Bush ) was americas belief that Iraq was hiding weapons of mass destruction . After Mr. Bush asked Mr. Hussein to allow the UN observers to inspect his palace and other locations, Mr. Hussein refused, which Mr. Bush saw as reason enough to invade the country. As it turns out, Iraq didn't have weapons of mass destruction .....WOOOOOPPSSS!!MY BAD.....SORRYYYYY.....and what kills me is that nobody is raising that exact question, that the main reason for the invasion did not , in fact, exist. in a normal world, that would be a reason for impeachment and criminal prosecution.....
