Hi,
"There was a machine designed for shredding plastic. . . ."
Yes. And that is terrible. But it is not justification for war. It is an internal affair. Should the nations of the world invade the USA because Amnesty International has us on a list of nations that do not observe civil rights (the death penalty question). Should the UN form a force to invade England over the Irish question?
There are reasons for going to war. They have to do with the accords agreed upon at the end of the '91 war. With the failure of one party to abide by them. With the threat to the world that failure represents.
There are reasons for disliking, even hating Saddam that are *not* valid excuses for a war.
And there are "reasons" that do not exist at all except in the mills of the propaganda machines.
What is sad is that so few go beyond the sound bites. There are many "opinions" and few of them based on fact or logic.
