Sorry, can't say I completely agree with what is said. Just to name a few: it will be a unilateral attack because the rest of the world doesn't feel the same as the US. The news in the US may lead you to believe otherwise but there are a lot of protests in Europe and other parts of the world. Very few people actually agree with this war. So to say that they have the backing of a lot of countries and only France and Germany are not cooperating is not true. All over the world people are against this war, even a large group in the US.
He says "Trust me, Iraq has links with Al Qaeda". I don't remember such a link being established, i may have missed it though on the news. A country like Saoudi Arabia has been proven to have a lot more connection with terrorists. Hell, even North Korea has openly admitted they have nuclear weapons and they seem pretty triggerhappy to me.
So why now? Iraq hasn't changed in the last 10 years, so why act now. Everything they know now, they knew back then.
Also, to think that the current state of the economy doesn't have anything to do with it is a bit naïve.
This is not meant as an anti war statement or anything, because I do believe that they need to get rid of Saddam. I just tried to put a few things (don't have much time now) into perspective.
