"So, before you go in you have to prove why you did it first? Still begs the question of why you feel you have to have permission in the first place, or why you automatically assume that nations like France and Germany have a better idea of what the right thing to do would be, or would act out of noble motives."

Read my prev post again. If you are intent on focusing on the language you'll see that noprior approval required. What is required is proving that the main reason you went in was right.
Hint: See WMD, nuclear capabilitity in Iraq - or lack thereof.

"It's already been proven that some of the nations who fought us in the U.N. were on the take from Iraq. Does this make no difference to you at all?"

You have access to the final conclusions of the investigation? Please point em out.
It's also been alleged that some of the nations who fought in Iraq (i.e. us, Iraqis) are on the take from the oil revenue. Last figure I saw dwarfed the oil-for-food payouts. Does this make no difference to you at all?

"You missed the point on France. If we actually shoved Iraqi atomic missiles up Chirac's nose, he would still have opposed the invasion. This isn't about the war on terror for some nations. It's about power, and who's going to call the shots in the world."
I didn't miss it, I said I wouldn't take the bet.
I don't really care what France thinks, if what we are doing is the right thing to do. With regards to Iraq, I still dont think it was the right thing to do. But we've been down this road before.

"All use of language aside, it's painfully obvious from Kerry's past behavior in the Senate and from simply listening to him, that America's own interests are not going to be number one on his priority list if they seem to conflict with those other nations that he apparently sees as morally superior and possessed of a better perception of how the world works. And trying to put on a John Wayne personna isn't working for him. He has decades of a consistent pattern of appeasement, withdrawal, and surrender to live down. "
Who does Kerry think is morally superior?
Please be specific.
