Ok, this doesn't have to do with iraq, but UN resolutions.
The UN has passed
several resolutions in regards to Palestinians who were forced out of their homes in the West Bank/Gaza/Jerusalem demanding that they return to their homes. The UN has passed resolutions that the Israelis MUST end their occupation of Jerusalem and allow the palestinians to return to their homes. Israelis must withdrawl from territories added through armed conflict - as they have no legal validity.
the US, as a UN security council member is doing nothing to enforce these UN resolutions, instead we are producing and shipping Israel billions of dollars worth of arms and advanced military equipment. not to mention the fact that Israel is the only country in the region we allow to have nuclear weapons - b/c it is
convienant and useful for us for us to have these here.
So don't use ignoring UN resolutions as a reason for invading a country - it doesn't fly in my book especially when the US has obviously done the nothing to stop the conflict in the middle east and has yet to help enforce the UN resolutions.
