| But wait, there's more! Close scrutiny of their little known relationships and by-line activities uncovered some double-dealings and wheeling that have been going on. It turned out that these countries are all bosom buddies and strange bedfellows of the Butcher of Baghdad. Despite the sanctions against Iraq, underground, they are secretly exporting military supplies to build Sadam's weapons of mass destruction. If there's a will, there's a way, especially if you have an ocean of oil, there are many discreet clever ways to outsmart the fox! Time had changed! Never before have we seen the politics of nations played in such a flurry of verbal confrontations. And never before have we heard the boldest outcry of the noisy few, who thought they are the voice of the majority. Sadly, they have short memories. They ignore the lessons of the past, and to such extent, the world violent history tends to repeat itself. In choosing PEACE from WAR to resolve the present crisis, the world encourages tyrant leaders to flourish. And in doing so, the future of the free worlds will be at a far greater risk than it is today. *** Back forward |
| Give PEACE a chance; the U.N. Inspectors should have more time to find those missing tons of toxic *chemicals and biological agents. Is it really? For 12 years, resolution after resolution, Sadam defied the United Nation. He wiggled his way out of tight situations. Skillful and adept in deceiving and cheating, he is a master of lies and disguises, the reason why he is still around today. After several months of searching, the U.N. Inspectors reported no smoking guns even when they found minor violations here and there: a hundred or more unauthorized long range bombs, some remote controlled airplane drones, yet, no nukes, no bio, or toxic chemicals. Proven liar and a cheat, Sadam gets the benefit of the doubt. The French, Russian, Chinese and German have gang-up together against the use of force. Why not, they say, increase the number of inspectors, and provide them with military escorts? This will ensure to contain good old bad Sadam and prevent him from using or further making weapons of mass destruction. One wonder, why does this group want to retain Sadam in his throne? -- They claimed, it is for peace, besides, Sadam is already complying with the UN resolution 1441, and that the inspection is working, just keep on searching. There is no need for war. |
