Hello Mike,
There are a lot of ideas that are very good in theory, but in the actual
execution of, get bogged down in complexities.
So then why not demand that all countires with
weapons of mass destruction
disarm? Why not start with those that have actually used them in the past.
But the question arises of who goes first. The SALT talks and treaties did
reduce the number, but it would take everyone to simultaneously gradually
disarm. No one country would want to allow itself to be completely vulnerable.
But some one or more countries would probably secretly keep more than they
disclosed, so the results would always be limited.
Best Regards

The penalty for breaking laws and rules must be
swift
and predictable. That's the only way for there to be a
deterrent.
And not applied randomly. There are many other UN sanctions that are being
ignored or have been vetoed.
Saddam Hussein can avoid the war in a minute. He
simply can abide by the U.N. agreements, disarm
himself of the illegal weapons and technology, and
dedicate himself to making a good life for his
countrie's citizens.
He claims to have done just that and the arms inspectors have not been able
to find anything. If the US has been concealing the evidence of this then
they are as guilty as he is.
Why aren't there protests calling for all
police
forces to be disbanded? Using the same arguments that
people are using against this war, if the police
didn't carry guns or shoot criminals committing acts
of crime, why... There'd be a lot less death in the
world.
Because in most countries the police require proof before an arrest and then
there is a trial before an execution. The police do not stop you on the
street demand proof of your innocence claim you are lying and shoot you.
