MAYBE we'd get somewhere. one thing is for sure. WAR only perpetuates itself. unfortunately SOMETIMES its needed.
see its hard to keep on track.. i guess its like this.. if there was a "perfect world" to me.. it would be a strong UN.. and more diplomacy. and FEWER wars as stated you can NEVER avoid war completely... i think that the biggest problem with us is our corruption. our willingness to agree to something like the Geneva convention, and THEN use torture after we agree not to. To me chemical and biological warfare is the same ... they agree not to do it then do it anyway. well we are hypocrites to be angered by that, since we are equally guilty... Sadam WILL be ethroned..probably) and his followers will go into hiding.. and rise up again. There is ONLY one way to fix the drama. and that is to eliminate the problems. And stop the hate. how can you tech nations to get along by bombing there buildings ... how can you teach that killing is wrong by killing. YOU CAN'T we NEED to sit and talk to these people. as absurd as that sounds... TALKING does not kill people ... there was a time when we thought a final super war with Russia was UNAVOIDABLE ... that time has passed. if we as a race wish to survive, the same needs to happen in the middle east, and all over the world. The WORLD needs to stand against him, NOT one nation.

If the world needs to stand against Saddam but wont, somebody has to lead by example - us. But what the rest of what your saying is clear to me.
One thing i cannot agree with is a strong UN. The UN maybe a world organization, but the UN does not have the best intrests of AMERICANS at hand. If the UN were to be strong, the nations in it would have to have similar governments who understand eachother by functioning in a similar economical manner.
