Invasion of Iraq is justified

To you and all the peace lovers & peace makers out there, can you call the Bali bombers not to bomb anymore and to negotiate their problems with the gove...

Well, the world can't live without oil. Laughing

There's no doubt Saddam and sons are big baddies. But however cruel they treat their people, its not justification to invade their country. Invading other lands is very wrong, except if you are invading to recapture lost land, like Normandy. Plus you get rid of 3 baddies, out emerge dozens of other baddies, stirred up by hatred of being invaded.

hardyhall SG

So, in your book, it is OK to forcibly take what is not yours?

zheshi SG

How to remove Saddam when he is still in power? Let say u still have total control over your whole country and one day i came and say.." give up your power" will u be willing to give it up?

In this type of cases, what are we gonna do? nth much..except for invasion...

LazerLordz SG

It is acceptable to forcibly intervene in a sovereign nation if it has contravened human standards of decency, e.g genocide and Holocaust- type acts.

Sometimes, the rest of humanity have got to realise that they cannot be constrained too much inaction.Care to tell the vets that they are war criminals for bombing and invading Germany?

I would rather start a war to end a genocidal regime than to sit back and enjoy the false peace which you and I know is false.Liberty needs blood to live, and no one has ever secured freedom through false pretenses of neutrality.

The only gripe is that Bush took the UN for idiots and did not properly phrase his demand for action in a more concise and persuasive manner to convince them in a legal sense that Saddam must be removed.

The days where states can engage in acts against humanity and hide behind the pretense of national sovereignty is gone.If you do not go against global opinion, you have nothing to fear.Overfragmentalisation of the world goes against what we've all been working on for a long time, a more united world with shared interests.

Bloody fighting there.Is it a movie?

Shotgun SG

I believe the UNSC cannot pass a resolution for a regime change in any country. UNLESS that country is breaching the sovereignty of another, and the regime is deemed to be the cause of the act of aggression. Besides, if u pass a resolution calling for regime change for a country, who the hell is gonna abide to that? Their government won't. Hence, it is essentially a death sentence for war.

hardyhall SG

So you are equating the Allied invasion of Nazi Germany with BushCo's action in Iraq?

Excuse me while I go and puke!

iveco SG

Well, would Bush and gang have thought up an invasion of Iraq if it had no oil? I think not.

Burma and Zimbabwe are also ruled by despots. Why haven't they been invaded for the purpose of "regime change" yet? Because they have no WMDs or plans to acquire them?

BadzMaro SG

What has been done is done. There is nothing the rest of us can do but to hope for a better future. The weakness in the UN is to blame. The unstable situations in Middle East contributed to the inevitable war. The lack of OIL and the need to run its vast military units across the world contributes to it. The Sept 11th. The dream of globalisation and as a world police is also a factor. We must all think of all the facts of WHY n WHY NOT!

US's intellgence credibility is at stake. Hell the WORLD is at stake! Mujahadeens running around blowing themselves up. I mean what better way to kill them all then to kill themselves in thier own ground. Its like in Star Trek..u dun see no middle eastern people. Its like they just blew themselves up.

The thing is what should the UN or US do next time ? Will Nato even have any say.. will ASEAN be an effective military Coalition.. so on n forth. Rolling Eyes

Lance_han SG

look, it's much more then jus about the oil Cool if u rmb, the "in" word regarding the case to invade Iraq was nukes, no? so..even if there is no nukes(as in the case now), but isn't it unfair to blame bush as now we all noe tat Iraq had no WMDs in their Inventory as we all possess the advantage of hindsight now? Cool

iveco SG

North Korea confirm got nukes. Why hasn't the US gone in to topple Kim Jong Ill and reunite the Korean peninsula? Rolling Eyes

Lance_han SG

hey, if u DO rmb, saddam do have some human rights records in the UN...rmb the chemical\military attacks on the kurds?

Lance_han SG

search me dude Rolling Eyes wad will u be doing if u were bush?

iveco SG

Promoting the message of peace, like what Bill Clinton did in the past.

I am sure the world would have been a much safer place if the votes in Florida were recounted and Al Gore confirmed as president.

Lance_han SG

look, it easy saying tat, but we all noe tat practice and theory are two different things Laughing

huaichien SG

Use undercover agents to introduce aedes mosquito to Kim Jong Ill's palaces and his top general's homes.

Shotgun SG

U think the US doesn't want to do something to N.Korea too? Believe me, everybody knows about the concentration camps in North Korea. The US is also worried abt N.Korean missiles that can hit ALASKA.

The prob is, if they take action... there is a good chance N.Korea might really push the "RED" button.

iveco SG

Well, that only shows that Kim Jong Ill is a smart man while Saddam Hussein is thick. North Korea has shown time and again that they are capable of the worst blackmail.

We can only blame the weakened state of post-WWII America for not winning the Korean War. The commies' certainly came out from WWII much stronger than expected. However, it was during the late 1980s that the communist world imploded and many of its members forced to adopt market reforms.

The end is near for North Korea. People are dying of starvation by the minute. Either it opens up its economy or it will come crashing down.

Lance_han SG

dat i'm not so sure...time and again it has been proved tat wif an efficient Secret Police, nobody will try any stunts regarding the current regime now.. Razz
