In this day and age, it is essential that countries get along moreso than at any other time in human history. We don't have to have the same beliefs or governmental systems or religious ideals or anything, just respect for each other's right to have those beliefs, systems, etc.

So we should put aside smacking a guy that is reported to be developing nukes, as well as support al queda, because france doesnt want to stop getting paid buy Sadam and his cronies???

If Bush is going to use the "we had to liberate Iraq from the tyranny of an improper political system" argument, what's to stop another country that doesn't believe in democracy from attacking us for the same reason. Why do we have to be World Police? I don't like it. I think we should all work together as a truly multinational group to make things right. There is no reason for the U.S. to go above the UN (yes, I do believe that the UN is severely flawed in many ways as well) and invade Iraq. We have no right and the justification was just too weak. If Kerry is being accused of being a regular Eggo, then just look at the Bush administration and the multiple ways it has had to cover its ass in the justification of the war in Iraq. 'Nuff said.

Um first things first Clinton tried to be the worlds police and messed up major.

Second the UN is a utter disaster, any time countries like Iran get to head the Human Rights commitee something is dramatically wrong, not to mention the Oil for food fiasco.

THird read above about france. Not to mention just because our historical allies are cowards doesnt mean we need to as well.

As for justification how bout a dozen plus violated UN sanctions.

And as for why sadam? Easy all info pointed to him building WMD's. He was the easy target, and he was aiding al quieda. Since the war started Iran as well as various other countries have decided to sing a little different tune, and in 15 years or so Iraq people will be truely a positive nation, not somewhere where there are rape rooms, and a genocidal dictator. You gotta make an example out of someone.

More thoughts.

Kerry pointed out that we are 90% of the force there, um guess what the same could be said for cosavo, somalia, and various other conflicts including Korea.

Kerry also said that Bin Laden was still in Afganistan, which about 90%+ experts say he is not, more like Packistan,

Kerry also critzed bush about the warlords thing. You know where he got the idea? The fine men and women in charge of our armed forces. There is a reason that Russia sucked it up big time in Afganistan, and Bush and the military leaders of the US armed forces didnt want to be next in the long line of failures in fighting Afganistan.
