I don't think chemical weapons cause destruction per se, and neither do biological weapons. WoMD is such a stupid label.

The only WoMD are nuclear weapons.

Your definition, not that of the rest of the world, and not that of the cease fire terms with Iraq. They are not supposed to have any of them.

The shells recently found are evidence enough that Saddam has not honoured the terms of the cease fire. Not honouring the terms of a cease fire is grounds for a resumption of hostilities.

You mean as in cause destruction to the surrounding buildings and resources in addition to killing lots of people? Cause, of course, no nuclear weapon could leave the "buildings standing while wiping out the people". Could it?

Not according to my dictionary, which defines it as nuclear, chemical, biological or radiological weapons.

Right. Cause trying to prevent Saddam from having access to chemical and biological weapons, after he used them in the past to kill tens or hundreds of thousands - that would be insane, right?

Can't remember where I got this from or who the people are:

Frenchman: If I weren't French, I think I would like to be English
Englishman: If I weren't English, I think I would like to be English


I do think the France bashing is worse than the US bashing. YOU would have thought the Yanks would have some sympathy.

I remember this one incident concerning France in the early 90's:

France was planning to make (and so they did!) nuclear tests in the bikini atolls. There was heavy resistance among the Australians (or that was the picture I got from the media). When the president of France (Chirac/Mitterand/Whocares) was questioned about the resistance, he referred the Australia as "an inconsequential country". INCONSEQUENTIAL?!?! I have a hard time to think a country almost as big as the whole Europe to be inconsequential...

Those funny little frenchmen in their funny little pieces of land...

This one is my favorite reason of all, especially when you consider that we sold him the helicopters to disperse said agents, and we supplied low-interest loans to purchase agricultural "dual-use" materials of dubious value, and Hussein continued to be our guy even after the gassing of the Kurds.

France is no more or less hypocritical than any other country, but their is little room for righteous indignation on our part, as well.

Are you sure of this quote?
Are you sure it wasn't a translation mistake: inconsequent (french) = inconsistent, thoughtless (english)

Well, If you are claiming responsibility for creating him, I respectfully request you send your Armed forces over their to UNCREATE him.
