ace,

there is a time when talk is not enough, and that time is when the enemy makes their move; when all other options are depleted. i hope you understand that pre-emptively striking a country we do not agree with makes us as correct as them.

country "a" is being told to disarm by country "b" which is unwilling to do so itself. country "b" has more weapons than country "a." both countries have commited war crimes, both have invaded other countries. is it unreasonable for country "a" to refuse to acknowledge the ultimatum of country "b?" superiority does not make a country correct, or just. any country willing to use preliminary violence in order to settle a dispute is no greater than the country it is in contradiction with.

why should any country adhere to rules that do not apply to all countries?

your family is not in direct threat of an attack from suddam.
