Debate over whether Iraq has weapons of mass destruction, or more so whether the unilateral US led attack should have launched are for me, side-stepping the real issue of US Hipocracy.
The US and its alies have turned their backs on the UN's global democracatic process despite being among it's founding members. How then can the US claim to be a democracy when they are unable to respect the decision process of another!
The true reason for invasion without UN backing is to enable Bush to 'save face'. Liberatation of Iraq's people can only be a secondary objective when Bush's crediblity on delivering threats and promises dwindle thru countless extensions to deadlines and the ever growing chance that war will not be declared by the UN.
Bush had painted him and his administration staff into a corner from which an Invasion was the easiest way out.
While I would like to see Sadam's dictorial regime come to an end I do not belive that starting a war is the answer. Education and support for the Iraqi people to rise up is the answer - blowing them and their country appart is not.
