It's already been proven that George W. Bush et al planned/faked some of the intelligence and did a lot of very unethical things to push his war. I don't get why everyone kisses his ass so much. He does a lot of things that does hurt and did actually kill people, some of them American soldiers.
What the hell do you want? UN Weapons Inspectors already found brand new French missiles buried in an illegal weapons stockpile, along with all the equipment necessary to enrich Uranium 235 in the backyard to one of Saddam's safehouses. Even before the war, during the renewed weapons inspections, the UN found how many illegal weapons and missile systems which exceeded the limited range we put on Iraq's defense network?
George Bush Sr. was more than ready to assasinate Saddam back in the first Gulf War, before he had all the body doubles and switched buildings frequently. Of course, all those fucking second and third world countries with political/economical ties to Iraq (France, China, Russia, Afghanistan, Sudan, etc) kept Bush from taking the necessary measures. Even if we scrapped all the UN sub-organizations (like the Human Rights component run by Libya!), we'd still have to deal with that uncivilized jackass Kofi Annan keeping the U.S. on a tight leash.
If anything is true about Dubbya, it's that he's a fucking wimp! We should've just wiped Tikrit off the map, and held the rest of the guerrilla-infested towns at the brink of nuclear holocaust, along with Mecca, Saudi Arabia, Libya, Iran, Sudan, and Afghanistan. If the UN or EU gave us any shit, we could just throw the UN out of New York, and demand all our weapons systems we supplied to our allies returned within two months.
The only reason the world has prospered in the last century, is because we allowed it! We are the backbone of international trade, military strength, space exploration, and telecommunications. Our enemies have to realize, if we go, they go.
France is hardly third-world, and it's certainly not second-world as that term is obsolete. Likewise for China and Russia.
