Without the presence of significant American troops, there wouldn't have an inspection process at all.
With regard to this incident, no one is complaining about the fact that our soldiers get killed or captured. That happens in war. What was/is outrageous is that the dead soldiers aren't merely dead, they were executed while in captivity, and shown with their pants pulled down, too boot. The war is over for POWs, why the extra cruelty? Pointless contemptible barbarism is all this is.
N.K. is on the list of the 'Axis of Evil' countries and has nukes, so wait and see what happens. Zimbabwe doesn't threaten America or American interests, so no obligation to invade Zimbabwe exists.
Quote:Not sure why Britain and U.S. are complaining about pictures of hostages / dead soldiers, what do they expect when they declare war on another nation?

Quote:The other interesting subject is, if Iraq is being invadedberated then why isn't Zimbabwe being treated the same (Human rights abuses) or N.K. (WMD)?
