hal9000mx: Runaway intelligence is smart?

Hal, some major misconceptions:

"I can tell to those who agreed with bush, base on his mental way of thinking, base on the fact that you can kill me any time, you are a threat to me therefore i can shoot and kill you with no problem. I have evidence that you buy a gun or a knife or something that can be used to kill me. so that enough."

The problem with your sarcasm is that it holds no water - unless of course you have a HISTORY of knifing people in the back or paying other people when they knife somebody...

"BTW, USA is not the only country that can build WMD you know. All the countries have the right to build whatever they need to protect from they threats, and for some counties USA is a threat for them."

However, the U.S. has never used WMD pre-emptively. The last time the U.S. used WMD was in WWII - in war time, in response to an attack.

"And if they used those weapons in a wrong way, the UN has to decide what to do."

You mean run away like a dog with it's tail between it's legs. The UN is good for somethings, but peace keeping has never been it's strong-suit. Everytime the UN was involved with a peacekeeping effort they either screwed it up or ran away. Heck, the UN started pulling out of Iraq after the first terrorist bombing it took. Let the UN feed the world, it's good at that. Let the U.S. keep the peace, it's good at that.

Besides, it's difficult for the UN to decide to do something when certain European countries are sitting on a veto vote against other countries regardless of what resolutions they put forth.

'France will veto ANY resolution put forth from the United States' - Chirac

"The reason for the attack was very clear, Bush was an oil businessman, Irak is one of the biggest oil producers. you guess the rest."

*snicker* The U.S. get's 50% of it's oil from itself. It get's about 16% of it's oil from Central/Latin America, 16% from Asia and the remaining 16% from the Mid-East.

While it is true Iraq is sitting on large oil reserves, it hasn't been a large oil PRODUCER for about a decade. The equipment in Iraq (pumps, refineries, etc.) are so dilapidated it'll take decades before Iraq is pumping/producing at full capacity. So to say that Bush simply wanted Iraq's oil is ridiculous at best.

But you are right, part of the debate is about oil, specifically the large and lucrative oil and natural gas contracts France, Germany and Russia were about to lose if Saddam was forced from power. Speaking of, what countries were threatening a veto in the UN Security Council again? Look up Elf on the web pal.

If you think I am talking another "right wing conspiracy" then you ought to see what the Left says about France, Elf, oil and Iraq:

Shouldn't be surprised, HAL 9000 was a messed up computer in 2001 too... didn't have a clue which was he was coming or going...
