Lets hope there is a minimum of casualties on all sides. One could say that there are no winners in war only losers. Hussain could still claim a moral victory by standing down. Whatever, this dictator will go, one way or another.
This sounds awful, but there is'nt much point having huge, offensive forces and not using them. All the so called western powers could just have defensive missile systems and let the rest of the world do what it wants while we save a fortune. Is this morally right? Or do we all [and I do mean all] have a collective responsibility to try and maintain world peace, I don't think we can sit on the fence and hope the problem will go away. This is what has been happening for the last 12 years, and it's not gone away.
What will happen if, and when, stockpiles of chemical, biological and what ever other nasties, are uncovered. Will the UN then agree that something should have been done?
