Kingsama, I definitely agree with you about the UN. In all honesty, I can understand the perspective of George W. when he basically told the UN we were going into Iraq with or without them. Not that I initially supported the war, I didnt. But seriously, with the UN's track record I would have felt like (if I was Bush) that I needed to take matters into my own hands. At least, I can understand why he would think that. I still fundamentally oppose the War in Iraq, and all war for that matter.

I think this has been a great thread, though it seems to be losing steam. I think we have all debated the topic very affluently, gotten our views expressed civily, and come to a pretty even ground. Perhaps Ill start a new thread with a new topic, and we can attempt the same thing. Congrats to everyone who posted, this thread has restored some of my faith in humankind as rational.

P.S. Shimraa, please go ahead and post your writing. This thread would be fine, we can just continue in a new direction if necessary, or you could make a new thread if you like. Either way ill keep an eye out.
