I'm growing a little tired of the US being the political whipping boy of the world. The fact is right now we are leading the world in the direction that actually UPHOLDS INTERNATIONAL LAW, while France, Russia and Germany who have all ignored the UN sanctions against Iraq and currently are owed BILLIONS of dollars by Iraq are considered angels, and not CORRUPT.
These countries passed the regulations that they are refusing to uphold because they never thought they never thought they would be put in a position to uphold them. They are a sham of international politics.
Here is my compromise that will hopeflly put this whole issue to rest:
Give Iraq 6 months (so winter somes up again), but keep the Military there, on alert, with inspectors in Iraq. If Iraq does not account for every item listed from the 1998 finding, including the 1,000 tons of chemical weapons BY THE OUNCE, Saddams regime must step down or be taken from power by force. The resolution should be worded exactly that way.
EVERY ITEM ACCOUNTED FOR, OR DIE.
The funny part is, even in the unlikely event this is passed, we'll still be going to war in 6 months and I think even those against the war know this. Iraq ever complying with UN resolutions is not likely. He hasn't done it yet.
