Don't forget the "Yellow Cake". Judging by the size of his ding dong he was eating it all himself.

Depends on the Iranian. http://www.wiihotties.com/2009/02/13/lucky-13-leyla-milani-is-our-whod/
Really do you think your own paranoia is a sufficient justification to keep attacking other countries and causing ten of thousands of deaths and untold suffering and misery? Don't you think a country should actually do something threatening before you start blowing it up?

Iran doesn't. What "threats" have they carried out?
Virtually every country meets the other two requirements as it doesn't take that much in the way of funds to develop WMDs and pretty much every country keeps its weapons programs secret.
i meant would you rather live with world peace in the hands of the iranians or in the hands of the US? you could try living IN iran to see how you'd like it.

World peace would definitely be more secure in the hands of the Iranian government than the US government if past performance is any guide. When was the last time Iran invaded anybody?
Originally posted by KazetNagorra It's an interesting question why Blair really decided to go to war with Iraq. Was it really just sucking up to the Americans, or was there more involved?
I think it was simply ego (with a hint of Christian fundamentalism thrown in). Blair wanted (and still wants) to be seen as a major, historical world statesman and, unfortunately, the easiest way to accomplish that is to go to war. Bush invaded for money and oil, Blair invaded for ego.

yes it was shocking, a million persons in this country marched against this war, it was hugely unpopular in Europe, Blair himself received ridicule that made him a kind of puppy dog to arguably the worst president in American history. It cost the death of expert weapons inspector Dr.Kelly and resulted in resignations within Blairs own Cabinet. All in all it was a disastrous decision and as yet, i have still to determine what it was about. The moral aspect has no weight and to many is really nothing more than an insidious lie.
