"Seriously, its complete fiction to say they have nothing. At least you'll admit they USED to have WMDs "

I admit.

"You must also admit that since 1998, we have had no way of verifying what they do and don't have. "

I admit.

"Saddam and his sons played public opinion the world over quite intelligently. "

I agree.

"own volition, destroyed the weapons? "

Possibly.

"12,000 page report. That would be his proof. "

Iraq would have still been invaded, but its still a good question.


"If the US does make the rules, the world will be a better place. "

False.

While I am inclined to agree with you on this point, there must be other considerations. Where is the best place to live? How is that determined?
It depends, I guess, on what people value. Riches? Safety? Freedom? I would not move to Detroit if I valued my safety. Nor would I move to a muslim country if I valued my freedom. I am happy to live in a socialist country like Canada because I do not value riches. I value equality, for every race, religion and gender.

I agree also with you... The US can make the rules in their own country, but not for the world - US values are not accepted everywhere and would not go well in some countries.
