reponse to Jeffmix:

Japan was nuked because there wasn't another viable option. It's hard enough to fight a war where your enemy is willing ti die for their country... never mind fighting an enemy that is pro-actively trying to die for their country by taking as many people down with them.

You're right... it would be nice to see a situation where by the un/us/uk/whoever send in troopers etc... to fix an injustice that the single country cannot resolve by themselves (i.e. Iraq/Israel) where there is nothing to be gained by the un/us/uk/whoever.

Saddam lied to the UN inspectors, this is something that is in my eyes, unforgiveable. He's killed his own people, unforgiveable. But does he deserve to die? Tough choice. He deserves punishment... severe punishment, but death? In one sense death i ...
