I think that this ultimatum really did reveal what this war is all about : it's not about weapons of mass destruction (otherwise they could have used Blix's 12 key disarmement tasks to give Iraq one final chance to disarm) it's just that they've wanted Saddam out of Iraq since the Gulf War and this whole Sept 11 / paranoia about terrorism finally gave them the opportunity to do it.
I'm also liking the Iraqi response to the ultimatum:

Gold. :D |
i belive the ultimatum is just. Saddam is the one that needs to leave power because he has been the center of this conflict for three american presidencies (Bush sr, clinton, bush jr.) that is why i belive it is absurd to ask bush jr to leave. someone who has been in power only three years can-not be the one blamed for "This policy [that] has brought about disasters to the U.S." furthermore bush may very well end up leaving power in the next elections, sadly the iraqi people dont have that choice at their hands |

well actually they just want to wait till it is pitch black outside :D
Weather and the moon are very important when you start a war, did you know that they wanted to start D-Day a week before they actually started it because of the bad weather... |

Wait you mean they wanted to start it when there was bad weather or it was postponed because of bad weather? I do know it was postponed a couple days becuase the seas were too rough. |

the 2nd.
Due to heavy winds the sea was too rough and so they postponed the attack with a couple of days ;)
And I believe this will happen also with Iraq, they will wait till the moon is gone so it will be really dark outside. |

As tragic as it was, Tiesto14 (believe me when I say that I was close to tears when I saw it) September 11th was an isolated case that had absolutely nothing to with Iraq. The US had been looking for an excuse to go in and oust Saddam for a long time, and it was the paranoia following the Sept 11th attacks (whether this paranoia was justified or not) that finally gave them an excuse they could sell to the American public.
Besides, having seen the horrors of warfare for yourself, I should think that you'd be more sypathetic to the innocent civilians of Baghdad who are about to go through the same thing - only in Baghdad the war will go on for much longer, will cause much more destruction and will result in possibly one-hundred times more death. Do you not think that this is a situation at least as tragic as the events of 18 months ago? |
