If you were sitting on your porch and you saw a neighbor carrying a bunch of assault rifles into his house. Now you knew he was a felon who should have guns, you'd go to the police. Lets say however, that the police said ok we'll keep an eye on the guy, but we can't justify busting down his door just yet.
This doesn't sit with you though, so you decide **** it, if the police won't help us we'll take the law into our own hands. So you round up a couple of your other neighbor buddy's, and you bust down the guys door late at night. Shoot up the place acccidently kill the guys son, and dog, then grab the guy only to search his house to find there were no weapons in the entire house.
If you did this in America, you'd be arrested for assault with a deadly weapon, breaking and entering, and murder. Assuming that the United Nations is the equivelent of the world police how is this different then the war in Iraq?

See we were sitting on our spy Satelite and we thought we say Iraq building WMD's. We know that Saddam has a history of being agressive, so we go to the UN(police). The police say alright we'll keep an eye on him, but we just can't justify going to war at this point.
We however said heck with that!! If the UN won't help us we'll do this alone. So we rounded up some neighboring countries, and busted down the door with our Shock and Aww, killed a bunch of innocent Iraq's that had nothing to do with the problem, and then looked around only to find there were no WMD's.
This is the strategy we used in Iraq, and if G Dub woulda tried something like that in America he would be arrested for it. So why is it ok in the Iraq instance?

The fact that there are wacko muslims who want to kill americans is irrelevant in this issue. We are talking about what would happen to you in america if you took the law into your own hands. In america you would be arrested, yet some how Bush hasn't been. The fact that the police may or may not be some what corrupt doesn't matter either, because you still can't prove that Saddam ever had weapons, and you still disobeyed the police, and took the law into your own hands, and In America you would be arrested for that.

Do you really believe WMDs were even part of the motivation to invade? Can you spell the words O I L - P O W E R and M O N E Y?

Your analogy is flawed. What actually happened was more like this: You think you see you neighbor/felon bringing weapons into his house. You go to the police (UN). They say they'll keep an eye on him and go to tell him not to get any weapons. While they are there searching in the living room, he distracts them. His son then moves a bunch of gun parts and weapon smithing tools out the back door and down the street. Oh and by the way, you later learn that some of the police were the ones selling gun parts and smithing tools to your neighborhood felon and the reason they didn't want to do anything was that they didn't want to interrupt their illegal arms deals. Oh, and one of the arms dealers was the son of the Chief of Police.
Now that analogy is a bit more accurate.

As a world there is no police force there is only the UN an ineffectual petty and corrupt bunch of third world child molesters,most of whom have a dictator at there head or some other corrupt leader who is afraid we might do the same to them.
We are the police force of the world.

It's not about the WMD's. Don't you realize there are wacko Muslims that would like to see you dead. Not because of the war but because of who you are and what you represent. They are attacking us. They attacked us. They will continue to attack us unless we stop them.
