There's simply no point arguing with him. He can't teach, he won't
learn and he just wastes your time.


I know, I said the same thing myself a week ago. Your post on
terrorist activity in Iraq was good, and provided everything a
reasonable observer would want to see. Couple this with the 12 year
cease fire, violation of every resolution, and it is plain we had to
act. People also forget that it also became necessary to force the
UN's hand. Bush was right when he said that the UN will become
irrelevant if it cannot enforce its own resolutions. Funny as it
sounds, Bush probably helped save the UN by following through on its
"threats."

"Plain we had to act" ... "violation of every resolution" ... "had to force
the UN's hand". Yeah, sure. You conveniently forget that all of those
claims for urgency of action, violation of resolutions, and need to force
the UN hand were all because Iraq didn't disclose its WMD programs to our
satisfaction.

Of course the tragic joke is that we now know that it had no WMD programs
to disclose.
