General Assembly on Thursday that "action will be unavoidable" against Iraq, unless the United Nations enforced resolutions requiring Baghdad to disarm. In a speech to the U.N. General Assembly, Bush laid out a harsh indictment of Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, saying he has flouted a decade of post-Gulf War demands from the United Nations by developing weapons of mass destruction. "The Security Council resolutions will be enforced -- the just demands of peace and security will be met -- or action will be unavoidable," Bush said. "And a regime that has lost its legitimacy will also lose its power." Insisting that Iraq's refusal to abide by previous resolutions threatened the authority of the United Nations, Bush said the United States would work with other members of the U.N. Security Council on a new Iraq resolution. "If Iraq's regime defies us again, the world must move deliberately and decisively to hold Iraq to account," Bush said. "The purposes of the United States should not be doubted." END The U.S. and Iraq seemingly are headed for a showdown unless someone backs down. I don't see that happening but it would be in Iraq's best interest. I've never been able to figure out why anyone would be so bent on destroying it's own nation. If he's banking on President Bush bowing to world opinion he's sorely mistaken. WHAT COULD HAPPEN-As stated in earlier articles, the possibility that Saddam's ultimate plan is to lure Israel into the war could be a very real likelihood. Israel would have a very heard time staying out if it were hit by substantial missile attacks. This is my only concern. Of course, we must remember to pray for the British and U.S. soldiers that will be putting their lives on the line. Those who claim that Iraq is not a future threat are the same people who have cried for decades that we must disarm and our enemies will follow. That's just plain and simple-minded crazy! If any law abiding democratic country ever abandoned its peace through strength philosophy they would be totally destroyed and plundered. You may ask, "What about Russia?" Russia downgraded its weapons arsenal considerably, but they're still one of the most powerful nations in the world. Nobodies attacking them anytime soon! I just received an email from a reader who passed along information on China's secret desire to see us destroyed. A book authored by two PLA colonels called "Unrestricted Warfare" stated the following: ** The Chinese state-run propaganda machine is cashing in on the terror attacks ... producing books, films and video games glorifying the strikes as a humbling blow against an arrogant nation. ** Chinese Communist Party officials are saying that President Jiang Zemin has obsessively and gleefully watched and re-watched pictures of the aircraft crashing into the World Trade Center. ** The CIA's own translation agency reported that this book identifies the U.S. as China's main enemy and details how a weak nation can destroy America using unorthodox means like the 9/11 attacks. ** China is preparing itself and encouraging others to engage the U.S. in total war. The book is chock full of plans and strategies, from using computers, to smuggling illegal immigrants, to manipulating the stock markets, to influencing the U.S. media, to using weapons of mass destruction all to destroy America. Is it any wonder that the vast majority of the world opposes the attack on Iraq! Add them to the long list of enemies of the U.S. and the free world. It has always been my belief that the antichrist can never rule until the U.S. is completely destroyed.
