please stop spamming the indymedia newswire with parroted corporate bulls*t,
u wrote the same thing a couple of days ago, people answered back...u ignored everything they said and repeated yourself a few times
why not go back to that post, read some of the answers, think about them and then if you reckon they're wrong answer them, otherwise f*ck off, seriously...

Harlequin,
Indymedia was not created so that people like you can post their pityable views and claim they are 'news'. If you want to comment on a news item, do so, but stop clogging up the newswire with your boring rants.

Lets not forget that saddam used chemical weapons...on his OWN people in 1988! And that there is now UNDENIABLE PROOF that he is linked (if indeed he is maybe even a card carrying member) of al-qaeda.
In addition iraq invaded a democracy, kuwait, to steal the oil..and many iraqi children get killed by saddam..think of the children! Iraq IS the main sponser of islamic terrorism IN THE WORLD!
the us and uk may have done some accidents in the past but as yet I personally have yet to see ONE rebuttal of The Case For War.

Answer the question: How can Saddam Hussein be disarmed without the threat of war? He wont listen to diplomacy, he ignores the UN, he is a ruthless, merciless dictator with no respect for human life. The only language he understands is the threat of war.

If you know how to force Saddam Hussein to get rid of his weapons of mass destruction without the threat of war then please state what it is!

If you have no answer to this then please admit defeat that the anti-war movement is wrong!

saddam used chemical weapons - hey so have many other countries, more people have died from US chemical warfare (agent orange, depleted urainum etc) than from any other countries weapons. also what makes chemical weapons worse than, say, cluster bombs?

his own people - the kurds are saddams people in the same way as palestinians are ariel sharon's people. sharon happens to be killing many of 'his own' people now, as opposed to saddam 20 years ago. turkish kurds are being ethnically cleansed by turkey. iraqi kurds live relatively freely in an autonomous zone in n.iraq. what does the us do? arms isreal in violation of 60+ SC resolutions, arms turkey, and starts a war on iraq...well at least they're consistent

kuwait, democracy?!? - i dunno where u heard that, Kuwait is run by a US friendly dictator. saddam was willing to withdraw in 91 and install his own puppet but the us refused to negogiate, in their own words, a peaceful settlement was their 'worst fear'

proof of links to al-qaeda - i'm beginning to wonder if you're joking/taking the piss out of harly

iraq main sponsor of islamic terror - uhh, ok, no truth in that, but why let truth get in the way of arab bashing? if we stick to facts. who set up and armed bin laden in the first place? (clue-same country which has armed iraq, iran, isreal, columbia, s,arabia polpot etc)

You are *such* a divvy, Georgey,

There is just NOT "undeniable proof" that Saddam Hussein is anything to al-Qaida other than their arch-enemy.

Osama bin Laden has pronounced a death sentence upon him, declaring him to be a "secular socialist" and an "apostate" and an "infidel".

It is punishable by death to preach Islamic fundamentalism in Iraq 'cos Saddam doesn't want a rival power base springing up.

And after the 1991 Gulf War Osama asked the CIA for permission to go into Baghdad and assassinate Saddam.

These are the only proven links between the pair, shitwit.

And where did you hear that Kuwait is a democracy???

In your dreams big boy; even Britain and the US don't try to claim that.

Kuwait is a hellish feudal despotism with a corrupt royal family possessing total control over their subjects. Women have no rights and Palestinians are used as little more than slave labour. Put that in your hype-believing pipe and smoke it.

"Iraq IS the main sponser of islamic terrorism IN THE WORLD!"

Sorry arsehole but sounding hysterical doesn't make it any more true, or proven. Iraq and Islamic fundamentalists don't get on, for the reasons outlined above.

And you may (may?) not be aware, but Iraq (secular) had a big fuck off war against Iran (Islamic fundamentalist) in the 1980s and was funded, aided and abetted by US and Britain!

And another thing: All those mean ol' chemical weapons which Saddam used on the Kurds were supplied by the US and UK, and most of 'em (including anthrax and VX gas) were sold to him by a certain Donald Rumsfeld!

I mean I thought everyone knew that by now, but obviously not.

Gorgeous George? George W Bush, more like!

Stop the War!

There is so little evidence for any of this, unless you think that "because The Sun told me" is sufficient. In which case you are probably a danger to yourself and need help.

OK, well harly dear, 95% of said weapons were destroyed in the previous weapons inspections. then the inspectors were told to withdraw so that the US could bomb.
Iraqi defectors have since confirmed to the CIA that all other weapons were destroyed as Iraq says.
So Harly, what 'weapons of mass destruction'? there is 0 evidence that that any exist...if you have any evidence can u point me to it? otherwise give up...
Other countries have 'WMD' and have used them, most notably the US, in fact the US position is 'we reckon saddam might have some WMD so therefore we will use WMD against the people of Iraq'
THE ONLY COUNTRY THREATENING TO USE WMD IS THE USA!!!
HOW CAN YOU NOT SEE THIS???
THE US IGNORES THE UN!!!
THE US HAS NO RESPECT FOR HUMAN LIFE!!
their plan is to cause 'a kind of hiroshima effect in baghdad'
did u get that? hiroshima, y'know when an atom bomb was dropped on civilians (by guess who!) that is what the US wants to do...

No, mate; YOU answer the question. Is this news? If not, why post it on a NEWSwire? Muppet.

Other countrys crimes dont justify Iraqs crimes. Iraq is the worlds biggest rogue state as well. It has imprisoned, tortured and executed hundreds of thousands of its own people. It has forced over 4 million of its own people to flee their own country. It has invaded Iran and Kuwait and used chemical weapons including nerve gas and mustard gas. Left alone Iraq will develope weapons of mass destruction, it will invade its neighbours, it will use weapons of mass destruction against them and any countries which come to their aid.

Israel is not half as bad as Iraq for a start it is a democracy and is only defending itself from hostile arab neighbours and fighting back against terrorist groups that use suicide bombings against innocent civilians. Neither is America. America is a democracy. It does not threaten other countries with weapons of mass destruction, it does not invade other countries, it does not break UN resolutions, it does not have links with terrorist groups.

There is simply no comparision between Israel, America and Iraq.

Let us not forget that saddam used chemical weapons which we and the Americans provided him with on his own people in 1988, following on the noble tradition of Winston Churchill who gassed the Kurds in his time. (unless of course it was the Iranians in 88?

And that there is now NO proof whatsoever that he is linked (if indeed even a card carrying member) of al-qaeda. (does al quaeda have party cards, maybe with Osama's face on them). No wait a minute, he and the fundies hate each other ...

In addition iraq invaded a feudal autocracy called Kuwait, which the British had stolen from Iraqi territory in order to control the oil, with the encouragement of April Glaspie in 1991to steal the oil

..and a million iraqi children have died as a result of the West's policy.think of the children!

Israel IS the main sponser of islamic terrorism IN THE WORLD!

the us and uk may have made such a mess of the middle east, ever since the days of Sykes-Picot, that we better stay at home. And that crew in Washington can't be trusted, after the mess they have made of Afghanistan

I personally have yet to see ONE decent argument for putting the Case For War (and I am a government spy, so I read everything ..)

Answer the question: How can Ariel Sharon be disarmed without the threat of war? He wont listen to diplomacy, he ignores the UN, he is a ruthless, merciless dictator with no respect for human life. The only language he understands is the threat of war.

If you know how to force Ariel Sharon to get rid of his weapons of mass destruction without the threat of war then please state what it is!
