David,

>It seems that you conveniently ignored my other question. I'd like to hear your answer:

>"We will not get rid of torture, rape, terrorizing civilians, shredding humans in machinery, and all the many other atrocities done by Saddam and his regime?"

No, I conveniently did not ignore anything. Here is your answer: We should get rid of torture,... etc, but by means of the UN, and not by pre-emptive strikes against a nation. Sorry, but thought you had understood my positioning in regards Iraq's invasion by my previous posts. That's why I didn't say it once more.

BTW, if my memory doesn't fail, in the Nuremberg tribunal in 1946 they condemned Hitler's intention of pre-emptive atacks, much like Bush and his neo-conservative hawks are doing now.

The word "conveniently" should be used not with me but instead to your govenrnants.

If my answer doesn't satisfy you, please tell me and I'll be very happy to write another message. Just want you to understand that I'm not the kind of people that uses "convenience" to run away from something, as you suggested. If my POV is wrong I promptly recognize it. Think there is no problem with this. A discussion serves for us to expose our ideas, discuss them and, if that's the case, change opinion.

BTW, I didn't see your comments to my reply to "Nothing changes in that country?", when I presented a list about some interferences of the US government in my message #774629.

Regards,

Fernando
