I am not againts war but it should be in accordance with the UN. But what US did, I am againts with it....it seems that UN now doesnt have any use at all.
If the UN had stood by it's stated intentions this latest war would have had to happen. If Saddam Hussain had been removed from power 12 years ago this PROBABLY wouldn't have been necessary. The UN could only work if all the member nations had the same goals, or at least goals they could agree upon ( And that will never happen as long as France are involved IMHO). The right to Veto any resolution should be stripped from all the nations and it should be run as a democracy- not with the elite few controlling all the shots.
I don't particularly like war.
I abhor the loss of life, both civilian and military of any nation, religion, color or creed.
Do i think that the "Coalition" are correct in what they are doing? Yes
Do i support this war? Yes
Do I support the soldiers fighting this war? Yes
Saddam Hussain has had 12 years of diplomatic pressure and sanctions, he was supposed to have destroyed all his scuds, he's now firing the scuds he hasn't got at Kuwait. Why has Saddam issued his troops with new gas masks? Allied forces would NEVER use chemical/biological weapons in this war. Too much cloak and dagger and not enough plain old honesty
