Where were all these protests when US and Nato invaded Iraq with a bs wmd pretext. Oh right, Iraq is a Muslim country.
Actually the largest protest movement in the history of the world took place to try and stop the invasion of Iraq. The neocons in control just didn't care about it. The same people who participated in those protests in 2003 are now happily nodding along with the pundits and politicians on MSM news that they once called war criminals.
IRAQ HALTS SURPRISE ARMS INSPECTIONS; U.S. RESPONSE WARY PRESIDENT CLINTON CALLS IRAQ'S ACTIONS ``UNACCEPTABLE.'
BY JOHN DONNELLY AND RICHARD PARKER New York Times News Service WASHINGTON - Aug 6, 1998
"In another showdown with the United Nations, Iraq stopped surprise U.N. arms inspections Thursday, an action the Security Council declared was ``totally unacceptable.'"
So stopping surprise inspections is legal?
When a country ran by a dictator halts surprise inspection time after time, it does not give you a warm fuzzy that they are or have complied with an armistice.
