Basing a war on something that MIGHT happen is just plain wrong. It's akin to being guilty until proven innocent. Based upon something he's done in the past isn't justifable in my opinion, as every country has done grievous and horrible things to their own people as well as every other, but we don't wage war because of it. Slavery, Native Americans, the First Nations in Canada, the internment camps for Japanese in WWII, Hiroshima, Nagasaki...we've all done it. What do we do about ourselves for these crimes we commited?

I used Toronto because it struck closer to home for you, then Washington or LA would. And hey, as far as I can see it T.O. is just as a likley target as anywhere else in the west.
But the rest of your post I have adressed in my former posts. Yes, our nations are all guilty of doing something. But what are you going to do? Are we going to remove Harry Truman for ordering the bombs dropped on Horishima and Nagasaki? We cant, he has been dead a while now if you havent noticed.
However, Saddam is STILL in office, and is STILL a liabilty to do ANOTHER crime.
And I agree, if nerve gas hit Toronto it would defanilty be because of the Leafs . [/QB][/QUOTE]Don't get me wrong I don't want to see anyone get hit with gas, but I doubt he'd nerve gas anyone "just for the hell of it."
He is still in office yes, and he MAY be a liability to do another crime, however it shouldn't be up to the US solely to determine that. It's up to the UN, and as a part of the UN, the US should abide by it's decisions, not strike out on their own.
