Robin Cook's Resignation Speech
This is one of the most eloquent speeches I've heard or read about the current state of affairs regarding Iraq: Robin Cook's Speech to the House of Commons.
One thing that still bugs me about the timeline of events after the Gulf War is how four years went by before UN weapons inspectors were sent and allowed back into Iraq. And now, not even 6 months later, it's been decided by the Bush administration that Iraq's not cooperating, won't cooperate soon enough, and that their leaders must now leave the country.
There's definitely many ways to watch and interpret these events, but one thing's clear to me: President Bush will not be as popular after this crisis is over. I guess us little people don't need to know all the facts that absolutely point to the Iraqi leadership being in league with those who would terrorize us. If we know and have proof they are a corrupt regime, there have to be ways to prosecute the corruption other than going to war.
