O really, the only option that the UN offered as usual was to write a angry letter telling Iraq how anrgy they are with him.

That isn't true. The UN supported strict sanctions, military involvement and a thorough inspection program. These things kept the world and the Kurds safe from Saddam Hussein. The threat that he posed was contained by UN supported actions. The only thing the UN didn't support was an invasion. With good reason.

 

Now here monte zuma your justifying the terrorists your saying that its ok for them to attack us becase they don't like that way we live but its not ok for us to do anything back...

I'm not justifying anything. I'm trying to understand it. Terrorists are criminals and need to be eliminated. But the US government's actions are counterproductive. In fact the US government provides terrorists with all the justification they need to maintain their rage.

 

Now if you remember Bush gave the UN over a year before he went into Iraq and the nations(France and I believe Russia) that shot him down were found be getting lets say " special benefits",

Why the rush? The US waited 70 years for the fall of the USSR.

You can't be serious.

 

strict sanctions - angry letters

These sanctions were accused of causing the hardship and death for Iraqi civilians. The Iraqi economy was crippled.

 

military involvement - lets wait till the fly chemical weapons our way

Heh. What chemical weapons?

 

There were strategic attacks, weapons inspections, no fly zones, and an unprecedented level of surveillance.

 

Thorough inspection program - Got kicked the !@#$%^&* out after finding too many weapons of m!@#$%^&* destruction.

Total BS. Blix had unprecedented access and found very little evidence of WMDs. Previous inspectors reported that they thought virtually all of Iraq's WMDs had beed destroyed. Nobody believed that Iraq was an imminent threat, except Bush and Blair.
