Did Saddam sign a treaty that stated he wouldn't hide or use imaginary weapons of mass destruction? It's just a matter of practicing what you preach - unfortunately, you need to be whiter than white before you can justifiably use muscle on foreign civillians.

How many Iraqi's wanted to kill US citizens before the invasion (justified on moral grounds of weapons of mass destruction)?

If force is to be used, then use it - just don't pretend that it is being used for any other reason than furthering one's national position.

If you have an issue with napalm, napalm like weapons, landmines, or other things that cause horrific casualties then there's that question as well, but I think it's the pretense and hypocrisy (not to mention civillian casualty) that might cause other nations to see the US in a less than positive light.

Finally, no Seaver, you are not in trouble. Why? Because you have the largest millitary in the world, and it would be very difficult to stand up against that kind of power if it was misused. Of course, since direct attack on a battlefield would be suicide, the only remaining option is an indirect, suicide attack.
