To Arms To Arms! War Time!

[Zephyr]

March 18 — A defiant Saddam Hussein on Tuesday rejected President Bush’s ultimatum for him and his sons to flee into exile, making war virtually inevitable as nearly 300,000 U.S. and British troops geared up for their second confrontation with Iraqi forces in a dozen years. The White House declared that resisting the United States would be “Saddam’s final mistake.”

At the United Nations Tuesday, Iraq's U.N. ambassador denounced Bush's ultimatum as "illegal, immoral and unjustifiable."

"This is the first time in the history the president of a state ordered the president of another state to leave his own country. It is a mess," Ambassador Mohammed Aldouri said. "We reject totally this madness."

From Baghdad, Iraqi Foreign Minister Naji Sabri called Bush an "idiot" and said his ultimatum "is a expression of frustration and isolation.

The question is, after the Americans control Iraq, what would exactly prevent them from eventually taking over and controlling the entire Middle east region?

Next thing you know, they will be at war with Iran......

No. The us never signed up for international law because they said that an american will never stand trial internationally, so basically no. Bush wont face charges. Besides, who is gonna charge him???

[Glowrider]

LOL. Even if we were breaking international law. Who is going to prosecute? The UN? Riiiight.

That is the most arrogant comment I've read from you or any "Peace Loving American" to date. Having pride in your nation is one thing, being blind to World issues is another. Yes, I say World issues. Iraq isn't a World issue. It's an American issue.


If it is found that the USA is breaking international law and nothing is done about it that will lead to the dissipation of the UN and most everything in the name of peace that has been accomplished since World War 2.

I highly suggest you take a long thought about what you just said.

That's exactly my point. The UN doesn't do ANYTHING.

And I never claimed to be a "peace loving American".
