(...) I think many countries want the US to be the policement, but only when they're interests are at risk. In my opinion, we have a small responsibility to protect Europe, however, those countries being in pretty good economic condition, the help (...) (22 years ago, 30-Jan-03, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) That seems enough to me. Make no mistake, Iraq has WoMD, has had them for ages, and is doing everything in its power to confound the inspectors. The inspectors have the wrong task. Instead of nosing around looking for stuff they ought to be (...) (22 years ago, 30-Jan-03, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

If the attack is an unprovoked attack by Iraq, then a NATO level response is justified. I expect the chances (...) (22 years ago, 30-Jan-03, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) My reading is that France and Germany (1) are delaying the plan to assist Turkey in the hope the Tukish government becomes frightened of entering war - thus forcing a review of US plans. Besides, given that Turkey does not want to upset the EU (...) (22 years ago, 29-Jan-03, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) I think this has more to do with politics than military necessity. It seems more a signal that NATO is wary of US intentions than anything - note that the foot-draggers are saying that the planning may be necessary eventually. The US is trying (...)
