Yes, gmram, we've been enemies since the Gulf War... this may have something to do with the fact that U.S. airplanes have been bombing Iraq almost daily for the past 11 years.
and _ski_bum, we actually do have some pretty good proof that Iraq DOES have chemical weapons and is probably doing nuclear research as well... and I know that if I had the U.S. on my back I'd be doing the same here.
THE BEST DOUBLE STANDARD COMPARISON I CAN THINK OF: USE THIS IN YOUR ARGUMENTS WITH MORONS
It's a FACT that Pakistan has nuclear weapons and has been very close to using them on India- the two are threatening each other with nukes all the time. It's also a very unstable country- the current leader, Gen. Musharraf, led a coup against the government three years ago, promising to restore a democracy... hasn't happened. And yet, the US has done NOTHING at all, not even speak out, against Pakistan's posession of weapons of mass destruction and its blatant military dictatorship. Why? Because it's our 'ALLY', mainly, that Musharraf supported us in the war in Afghanistan. Fact is, the man doesn't even have control over his government, and I can guarantee that there are more terrorists in Pakistan then in Iraq. Nevertheless, we go after Iraq, showing definitively that this 'war on terrorism' no longer has anything to do with terrorism.
