Actually, it is the UN and the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty which
tells Iraq and North Korea what weapons they can and cannot posess.
Like North Korea, Iraq is trying to make the whole issue look like it
is being bullied by the US, when we are simply enforcing UN resolutions
that date back to 1990, and to the cease fire agreement that Saddam
signed in 1991 WITH THE UN. It is not our fault if some countries are
moral cowards and are sabotaging the effectiveness of the UN for their
own commercial enrichment (i.e. France, Germany, and Russia in their
business relations with Saddam).
It is not we who are throwing our weight around, it is France and
Germany that are doing so, trying to establish an imperial europe under
their rule that has one rule: oppose or sabotage the US in any way
possible and make a buck however they can. It is France and Germany who
are throwing their weight around and destroying the international
system for their own profit. They claim it is about oil, and they are
right, oil that they want to keep for themselves and for their own
profit, at prices that will continue to lavishly finance their social
welfare states.
