I just thought I'd also post the Report on UNMOVIC Findings (as reported to the U.N. Security Council in response to the question raised by the U.S., the United Kingdom, and other countries, whether the United Nations Inspection Commission, known as UNMOVIC, had found traces of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. 

This report, in which Hans Blix (chief U.N. inspector) says UNMOVIC had not found any weapons of mass destruction in Iraq was broadcasted to the whole world on February 14, 2003, although few United States citizens recall seeing it (I guess it wasn't publicized enough). A little more than a month later, on March 20, 2003, the U.S. tried to assasinate Saddam Hussein, starting its latest unprovoked invasion of a foreign-country.

A few days after the UNMOVIC report I stopped trying to argue about Iraq with northamericans. I recall the exact point in time that made me give up in trying to reason with them: I was reading the owner of a popular IRC channel (chat room) saying that they should "kill all those fuckers" (Iraqi "terrorists", I guess).

It was clear for me at that moment that most of the US population didn't really care much about proof or facts about the WMDs issue, they just wanted someone to pay for 9/11, it didn't matter Iraq had nothing to do with it.

[06:14] <WNDCLASS> If they strike, they will do it from the inside...
[06:14] <Tuplet> NoIdea we have no clue on who is on our soil right now.
[06:14] <NoideaLT> I don't know what they would expect to do to teh US.
[06:14] <NoideaLT> they certainly won't be hijacking planes ever again.
[06:15] <NoideaLT> so, they could try to bomb something
[06:15] <NoideaLT> that would be about it.
[06:15] <JBlitzen> They could suicide bomb a couple cafes.
[06:15] <JBlitzen> That would be hellishly damaging to us.
[06:15] <Tuplet> Noidea: the gossip is human bombs
[06:15] <JBlitzen> They can do basically anything they want.
[06:15] <X-Pantera> it would?
[06:15] <JBlitzen> Of course.
[06:15] <WNDCLASS> AHHHHHH!!!!! No more coffee
[06:15] <NoideaLT> but, they won't kill 1000's
[06:15] <WNDCLASS> :(
[06:15] <JBlitzen> Think about a bomb going off every week in NY.
[06:15] <JBlitzen> They don't have to kill 100's.
[06:15] <X-Pantera> sounds like a good reason not to attack iraq
[06:15] <JBlitzen> It's the impact and the fear.
[06:16] <JBlitzen> Sounds like a great reason to attack them.
[06:16] <JBlitzen> Kill all those fuckers.
[06:16] <X-Pantera> haha
[06:16] <NoideaLT> pfft, all the more reason to attack Iraq.
[06:16] <JBlitzen> Front load all their revenge.
[06:16] <JBlitzen> Hey, you want a piece of us?
[06:16] <JBlitzen> It'll be on our fuckin' terms.
[06:16] <JBlitzen> Sure, bomb a fuckin' starbucks.
[06:16] <X-Pantera> I would actually expect some sort of retaliation for an attack.
[06:16] <X-Pantera> so a few suicide bombings is ok whatever
[06:16] <X-Pantera> something to read about
[06:16] <WNDCLASS> Or we can make a virus that makes them infertile :) After we wait a couple a years and Bingo!
[06:16] <JBlitzen> I would expect an attack regardless.
[06:16] <JBlitzen> Might as well do what we can in the process.
[06:17] <JBlitzen> Remember, xp, no attack prompted september 11th.
[06:17] <NoideaLT> all this talk of a nuclear attack against the US
[06:17] <Tuplet> jbms: And what would you do to ones that are a good potential of being a hidden cell here? round them up like we did with the japaneze in wII?
[06:17] <NoideaLT> or a biological attack
[06:17] <Tuplet> damn this XChat
[06:17] <NoideaLT> or a chemical attack
[06:17] <Tuplet> JB, I ment
[06:17] <X-Pantera> JB, that wasn't iraq though
[06:17] <NoideaLT> not going to happen.
[06:17] <JBlitzen> Tuplet, give them a reason to think twice.
[06:17] <JBlitzen> If every time they fuck with us, we kill another regime dedicated to supporting them, they get afraid fast.
[06:17] <JBlitzen> It worked like a fucking charm with the soviet union.
[06:17] <JBlitzen> You don't hear much about the red terrorists these days.
[06:18] <JBlitzen> We didn't destroy Russia, but they did stop supporting those groups.
[06:18] <Tuplet> jbms: they are born to be human bombs
[06:18] <Tuplet> why is this program doing this!?!?
[06:18] <JBlitzen> Their tactics are only effective in the absence of a large scale response.
[06:18] <Tuplet> ack I am getting mad
[06:18] <JBlitzen> The jackals can piss off the lion, but the lion can still eat the fuckin' jackal whenever it wants.
