KATO33 0 #1 February 16, 2003 Can Some one please Explain to me How One Nation With WMD's Tell another Nation That they Can't Have WMD's. I've heard the argument Sadaam is crazy He'll use them. But the US is the only country that has ever dropped a nuke on another country so who's crazy. Blue Skies Black Death Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SpeedRacer 1 #2 February 16, 2003 QuoteCan Some one please Explain to me How One Nation With WMD's Tell another Nation That they Can't Have WMD's. It was a condition of the cease fire of 1991. The reason that one nation can do it is that the other nation lost the war & now has to abide by th conditons of the cease fire.

wmw999 2,589 #3 February 16, 2003 Even from where I sit (and according to many it's on the left side of the fence ), there's more to it than that. What Speedy said is part of it. I don't like this "we're the parents and if you know what's good for you you'll obey us" attitude that seems to be emanating from some people in the US. On the other hand, the current administration of Iraq invaded another country with an eye to taking it over a few years ago, and used the 'scorched earth' technique to lay a lot of waste on their way out. They're not the good guys. We're not perfect either, but we didn't torch a lot of oil wells just so that others couldn't have them. That said, I'm enjoying the discussion about whether SpeedRacer should put his cat out in the snow. Wendy W. There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence.

akaGQ 0 #4 February 16, 2003 That is absolutely correct. Think about the terms that were made with Germany and Japan. But think of it in this manner if you were beaten would you not wait for the most crucial moment to get revenge?- GQ ... it was the love of the air and sky and flying, the lure of adventure, the appreciation of beauty ... -Charles Lindberg Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SpeedRacer 1 #5 February 16, 2003 well, that was the answer to the question. whether or not we should be plunging into war like this over it is another matter, (especially when you consider we've got enough on our plate already) But we've been through this s$%t already on about 57 other threads.
