Posistion paper Against War with Iraq
I believe a war with Iraq would be a mistake. In my opinion Saddam Hussein has done nothing as of yet, to warrant such an attack. However I do believe that Saddam is in the process of hiding or developing weapons of mass destruction, and that steps necessary steps should be taken that he abides by his peace agreements, and U.N. security resolutions. And unless Iraq attacks the United States directly then I think all action taken against Iraq should be taken through the United Nations. The main reason why I think that war is a bad option, is that as of lately, there is a complete lack of allies willing to support such a war. Especially in Arab states surrounding Iraq, most notably Saudi Arabia.

I think that Bush should confine himself to working through the U.N. and aggressively lobby the Security Council for measures to ensure the usefulness of future weapons inspections. And hopefully this draws to an end with a peaceful conclusion. erican people to lose heart in finishing up what was begun. I think that by judging Saddam Hussein's actions that he has previously taken against the U.N. weapons inspectors, and his defiance towards U.N. security resolutions, that he is trying to hide something, and is most likely trying to acquire nuclear, or biological weapons. If I remember correctly, he would limit access to facilities that inspectors wante
