We should not go to the UN at all. It should be completly dismantled.
The fact is Saddam did support Militant Islam but only when it suited his goals, not nearly as much as other countries but he did none the less.
The fact still remains he was a supporter making it a just war and a threat the United States.
But yes we should agree to disagree because this is going nowhere.

And i am being pragmatic. There is a power vacuum in Iraq. Anything that fills that vacuum that is not supported by the people will only stay in power by use of the gun. This is not the UK, the US etc. This is not a country that is in a steady state condition. It is in turmoil and it would be folly to ignore that. Therefore i do not believe you can take an imposition approach.

A proper Government takes the use of a gun out of the equation. It bans the initiation of force and fraud.
You keep contradicting yourself. You say we can't "impose" a proper government but the Iraqi majority can impoose a theocratic Government based on the Koran and consquently an unproper Government on the Iraqi minority that wants a Government that protects their rights.

I am not convinced by the comparison with Japan. A direct military act of war against the Japanese was perpetrated by Japan. Its people new that the Pearl Harbour attack was a pre-meditated act of war on behalf of Japan. Everything that followed could be attributed to that incident that the Japanese government crowed so majestically about at the time. When, years later, Hiroshima and Nagasaki were destroyed and hundreds of thousands of innocents were dead on mainland Japan the people could see the lineage. I am not convinced that you can equate the experience and knowledge of the Japenese people of the 40s with that of the Iraqi's of the noughties.

Read my post again I was talking about Iran.
The Iranian Revolutionarys took American hostages, they have directly and indirectly attacked America. There is no dought about it they are at war with us.
The Comparison holds.
