re: You cannot punish a country after it has accepted no to be a threat again

Raoul — 7/20/2006 4:41:28 PM (archived)

Do you really want your country to violate simple international law principles?
After gulf war one, Saddam did not invade any country anymore, therefore he complied to what the UN forced him to do.
And now, you tell me you had the right to invade Iraq 12 years later, when Iraq had been contained and disarmed??
Sorry, but that's cowardice!
