A question for those opposed

I've been on A-mart for a good while, but this is the 1st time I've wandered into this forum.

I thought I might pose a question to those opposed to the impending action in the Middle East. Please, Please, try to limit your answer to the specific question.

"What do you believe is the motivation of the United States to insist on removing Saddam Hussein from power, or at least confirming his disarmament?

If you can provide your logic in the response that would be helpful also.

I want to thank you in advance for responding. I have been pondering this for a bit and seek to understand your perspective.

Thanks again,
Steve

Don,

Thank you for replying. For the sake of my question, I'll take at face value your assertion that:

"The U.S. wants removal by extreme force."

Again, though, I ask:

"What do you believe is the motivation?"

If I missed it in your answer, I apologize. If it is because
"The U.S. wants to be in control of the knife that cuts up Iraq." - Then I would ask you to clarify what you believe the motivation is for the United States to need to "cut up Iraq."

Thanks for responding Don,

James,

An interesting response, but am I wrong in gleaning from your answer that you are NOT opposed to war?

Regards,
