Well, thats all you are going to get from him. He can neverr give a better answer than that.

Well that sucks. I just want to have a good debates and LEARN. If I say such stupid things then I want to know what they are and why it's stupid. Also I liked his post about communism and I agree with what he said. This is a good debate, but calling people morons without any explication won't help it.

Well, in all the debates about whether or not Iraq has any weapons of mass destruction, nobody has ever answered me this:
If Saddam Hussein didn't have any WMDs, why didn't he just comply with the weapons inspectors? Everybody agreed back then that Iraq was holding up investigations, being slow to comply with requests and generally acting like it had something to hide.
Why?

You have a good point Xantar, I would say that maybe Hussein like the majority of people on this planet, doesn't like to be told what to do and have other people getting their noses into his business. Now, I'm not saying that to defend Hussein or to say that he should have the right to WMDs, but it's not because the man wasn't very cooperative that it meant he was hiding something.

Saddam Hussein knew that he couldn't possibly win a war with the U.S. and knew that if he dragged his feet, he'd have that very war on his hands. Saddam is a little crazy, but he's not stupid. If he wanted to stay in power and he didn't in fact have any WMD program, all he had to do was say, "Come on in! The door's wide open. I'll answer all your questions regarding WMDs. You can enter any lab you want. You'll see. We don't have anything."

I think that it's fair enough to say that Iraq was cooperating in the latest inspections.

And that would have been that. You don't really think the U.S. would have gone to war with Iraq just to free some people who are having their human rights violated, do you? It's very sad, but the U.S. doesn't tend to stick out its neck like that.

Well, a lot of pro americans use that as an argument. Do they believe it? I don't know.

Oh, and it's well known if you do a little research that the vast majority of oil Americans consume comes from either within the States or from Venezuela. That's right. We don't get much from the Middle East. Iraqi oil can affect worldwide prices, but not enough to make an unpopular war worthwhile. Bush had to know he'd be getting criticism every day that the war is going on. There are better ways to jump start the economy if that's what you really want to do.

Yes you're probably right, but it has to be a motive, even if not has important as the supposed threat of WMD.
