Should have the United States and its allies launch a military attack on Iraq? That's the issue being debated, not just between the United Nations and the U.S. Congress, but in living rooms and dorm rooms across America. It's a question with no easy answer.
Saddam Hussein has proven himself to be a ruthless tyrant. He either has weapons of mass destruction or will have them soon. And he is just crazy enough to use them on neighboring states in the Persian Gulf region, on Israel, or on targets in the West. That's why it's important that the U.S. take the lead in disarming him. It has been said in the past that Hussein used chemical weapons to kill thousands of people in Iraq. If he was willing to use weapons of mass destruction on his own people, then he would have no problem using it on his enemies.
That is what the United States government wants you to think, but there hasn't really been any evidence reported that Hussein possesses weapons of mass destruction. Spokespeople for the President Bush, such as Vice President Dick Cheney, have argued that Hussein is armed and dangerous but have yet to back it up with proof. Instead, the President and his advisors just want us to take their word for it. I want the government to be straight with me. Does the man have them or did the government just make it up so they could attack Hussein? I really want to know because their have been speculations that President Bush only wanted to attack Hussein because Hussein tried to kill Bush Sr. years ago. Also since Bush Sr. didn't have any luck with driving Hussein out of Iraq during the Gulf War Bush Jr. thinks he can. If those are the reason the President declared war on Hussein then I don't think Bush is qualified to be president because he is sending soldiers to die for personal reasons. .
Hussein has a history of providing assistance to terrorists, and there are claims that he has given aid and comfort to members of Osama Bin Laden's Al Qaeda.
