FOREIGN POLICY IS CONFUSING...
even to the "experts." I watched the UN meeting this morning, and I am more confused than ever. I understand that the decision to go to war is a difficult one. People die. Military, civilians, no one is safe. I grew up in a military family, I know that war is a terrible thing not to be taken lightly.
I just wonder what countries like France and Germany are thinking. IF Iraq has biological weapons, everyone should be concerned. France and Germany are not safe. I understand the US is a hated country, but France and the US have been "helping each other" for hundreds of years.
I believe that we made a mistake ten years ago by not taking Hussein out of power at the end of the Gulf war, but the US can only do so much. I don't know what the answer is.
It is easy to say "Go to War" knowing that the "attack" will happen thousands of miles away from where I am. Now that I know that the US can be attacked, I can not go into this war with the "untouchable" attitude I had during the Gulf War. No one is safe.
As someone who lives in a "bully" of a country, I think that we have no choice other than to go to war with Iraq.
If you want war, prepare for peace. If you want peace, prepare for war.
