My buddy Colin Powell is now running around saying that Iraq's weapons report constitutes a "material breach" of U.N. Resolution 1441 and that there are "material omissions" in the report.
Okay. Fine and dandy. I'll never support this conflict. Never. But it just seems to me that we're, yet again, being the cowboy. "We're gonna kick yer ass cuz we can and we're entitled to because, well, we're the U.S."
It just seems to me that if there truly is "overwhelming evidence" that Iraq has nasty things in their cupboard then we as a country need to show our hand. I have to believe that we really don't have that evidence. If we did, what would we have to lose if we showed the world? Not a thing. We'd have everything to gain. We could use that evidence to build the coalition that our so-called leaders drool over. Sad. I just think we think we're entitled to do whatever we want, wherever we want.
