Because my country is greedy and still believe it can have some of the loot. Get real, Chirac, we lost. End of story. Better look for ways to be in good relationship with rebuilt Iraq.

Quote:
Why is it critical to tie this together, when France certifed that Iraq should be sanction free since 1998?
I don't think it is considered 'critically tied'. France calls at the same time for the sanctions' suspension (basically, to drop them since they won't be reenacted as long as the US doesn't want to) and for the continuation of UN inspections. Where is the problem in involving the UN in Iraq's disarmament ? It's not like the presence of inspectors mean the Iraqis will continue to starve.

Quote:
Why do they NOW insist sanctions NOt be lifted outright, yet pushed for EXACTLY that when Saddam was still in charge?
Because of Chirac's delusions that it is still possible to have the UN not to be spitted upon. It is also essential for Chirac to let the US keep its importance, because he loves his veto power.

Quote:
My answer is I don't trust France or the inspectors the UN sent, a third party should be formed.
You're right not to trust France, its diplomacy is guided by greed and political opportunism (whose doesn't ?). However, I fail to see what source would be more reliable than the UN to provide inspectors. The UN is this wonderful place where countries' egoisms are articulated, and as such, it is the less biased organism in the world, since it gets influenced by everyone

Not annex. They just want another US friendly regime. The Cuban people certainly don't.

And the US government is the American people? I don't swallow that one - the US government is the creation of special interests more like it.

Yeah. Bush is sending the 101 there right now.
Because of their weapons of mass destruction? Short from carcinogenic cigars this seems a bit far fetched.

Or perhaps they are threatening their neighbours?

You are a caution.

I find it amusing you play these games, but they do pass the time.

Tass, why don't you attempt to just talk to me, WITHOUT the rhetoric?
I would be interested in what you had to say, but forget playing the cold war game, I used to do it with your elders above the artic circle, back in the ol days.
Your easy meat ol buddy.

Chris, give it up. You were wrong, on a dispute about LANGUAGE no less. It doesn't make you look any better.

Tassadar, that was a bit provocative, though...

Would the Cubans be better off under Castro or another US supported Batista like regime, since these are the only realistic options?

Would they be better off with their great health system and world class education, or by having their children working in sweatshops for 2 cents an hour sewing Mickey Mouse pyjamas for Disney?

Since Cuba is such a big concern to so many here (why, I have NO idea), here's what needs to happen.

We trade the citizens boats for ball players, and cigars.
Yeah. That's it. Sanction their asses.

Chris, considering you did not respond to my previous "ontopic" post, I will accept your surrender and will drop the subject. It was nice debating with you If you wish to revive it, simply respond to the post.

Tass, provoking someone for the sake of provoking them is childish and, more to the point, incredibly annoying. On BOTH sides.

Agreed. You are probably the most skillful troll around here these days, and clearly deserve a place in 'Poly's troll Hall of Fame.
However, somthing is still missing for you to reach the status of a true troll legend. Hmmm, I can't say what it is. Maybe the final enlightenment that happens to wisened-up trolls ?

skywalker had the thread about the Why's on Iraq.

This thread was to illustrate that it isn't done yet.
