Danish military is still fighting in Afghanistan, in fact they´ve bombed a few civilians lately, on US command.
The danish government is sending our best rangers and a funny little submarine to the Gulf to fight for you.
..And, per capita, Denmark has more peace keeping soldiers in action than any other nation.
But, more importantly, Denmark is the world largest foreign aid supplier per capita.
I just don´t see Saddam as a terrorist........

Well jaus .... I'm sure the Danish government does.... er ...
but how many troops do they have in harms way hunting down
terrorist? Have a feeling the Danish government fully supports the
United States, while the United States fights the war against
terrorists. Guess that means, American Reservists and National
Guard folks are out there in harms way. Thank you for your
support. (BTW: is it true the Danish Army is unionized?)
As for the future economy of my America, don't worry. Danish dairy
products are very popular here

Indeed I do. Pursuant to the reports of UN inspectors, as of 1998, Iraq has weapons of mass destruction ... and has a documented history of using them. Is it likely that Iraq will make these weapons available for use against Americans and America? No doubt in my mind.
As a VietVet, I strongly believe the taking of human life is immoral and wrong ... but, at times justifiable to preserve human life. I mean no offense ... but I don't see Danish troops, in the field, hunting down these weapons of mass destruction. I don't see Denmark confronting North Korea. Maybe I missed it. I'm just a dumb old country lawyer, from Holden, Missouri, USA ... who is watching his friends and neighbors being deployed to the Gulf and watching antiwar protests by folks who have no family, friends and neighbors in harms way. I choose to support my American men and women in uniform doing a job other nations lack the resolve/ability to do. I do not think I will depend on Denmark to keep my America safe from future terrorist attacks.
Again, I mean no ill will or disrespect

This only means one of two things:
1) Your statement above is a complete falsehood
2) You are extremely naive. But since you seem to communicate somewhat effectively, I have to vote for #1.
Get real. One problem at a time. Is Israel getting ready to attack Kuwait? Did they use chemical weapons against Iran? Have they displayed any agression against neighboring countries (their current dispute with the Palestinians doesn't qualify even if you would like it to). The Pakistan-India crisis is another good reason to make sure Iraq doesn't get nukes as well. And the only way we can take ALL breaches of UN resolutions seriously is when the UN themselves decides to take them seriously. But their recent performance is just proof that they cannot be taken seriously. Just another bureacratic self serving body.
The key words there are "supposed to". What good are UN treaties if they are ignored at will? (ie North Korea). And then N. Korea claims that sanctions will be "an act of war". I suppose that will be the US's fault as well even though that too will come from the UN. Funny how the UN is a puppet of the US government when the argument is convenient, but then we are condemed for not buying into their so called "Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban" out of self preservation.
As far as "happily" supplying biological weapons to Saddam, I don't buy it. But if we did, I guess it's time to clean up our mistake.
The self interest of the US, a free society, with an outstanding human rights and charitable track record (more charitable than any other country) vs. that of a Dictator willing to invade, murder, **** and pillage his own people and his neighbors is hardly a comparison.
See above.
Personally, I could care less about motives. If it is a just war then it is a just war and motives are secondary. Except when they are as blatent as Turkey and their " give us a few billion and we'll be your friend" attitude. Or Frances "give inspections time while we secure our oil contracts".
Did I miss anything?
So give an alternative to cleaning it up. We're all ears.

your comment: "I just don´t see Saddam as a terrorist........"
says a great deal to me about the depth of your knowledge in this whole area. What a waste of time this thread is both in terms of the quality of the photographs you posted and the and depth of your political views.

Yes, get some sleep and then tomorrow translate your reply into something we can understand. I don't have a clue how it related to anything I posted.
Surely the act of going to war is political, but being against war is Humanitarian.
Most people in the UK want proof, at the moment we get a list of unconnected statements and no real proof. If we were given proof then the UK would support an attack.

You are right, talk is cheap!
However, I think We (as Danes) have earned the right to Our point of view by participating, among other things, in the first Gulf war, Kosovo and Afghanistan. As We discuss this. Danish F 16´s are flying in Afghanistan and a Danish submarine is en route to the Persian Gulf to fight, if necessary, in the next Gulf war.
Does this answer Your Question?

I can sympathize with Your view here, although I´m not sure Your governments, motives are as admirable as Yours.

I can't believe that many of the folks in this thread have not been invited to attend the intelligence briefings that the US Intelligence gathering community gives to high level administration each day! Perhaps we should rely on the excellent record of intelligence gathering done by some of the other nations represented in this thread? Then I, for one, would sleep much better

Perhaps you could share just a little of the knowledge you get at these meetings? Then maybe you could pass it on to the weapons inspectors then maybe they could find out what happened to the anthrax the we sold to Iraq.I can't believe that many of the folks in this thread have not been

Yes it does. Thank you. I believe the answer is "not much".
The meeting was at my house! They were going to fill us in over beer and popcorn! Sorry you couldn't make it. I was highly suspicious of the motives of the US and the UK. You know the track record they have for sending our boys off to fight for no good reason. But since they disclosed their evidence to me, I'm all for it. I'd tell you what they said, but I promised to keep it a secret. So did the UN. So did France. So did.... well, you know. I'm sure they can keep a secret.
The other nations are coming over next week to share their intelligence with us also. But that meeting should be much much shorter. I'm still waiting for proof that it was Iraq that set those oil fires and dumped all that oil into the persian gulf. It's a consiracy I tell you! The poor guy just wants to feed his people and live peacefully ever after! Disney should come out with a movie about him!
Now, seriously: If the US and the UK can't trust their leaders with a decision as important as this, then we should kick them out immediately! I'm am usually quite leary of some of my governments decisions, but I have a lot more faith in them than to need "concrete" proof. For this, I am willing to take their word for it that this guy poses a serious threat. Evil can be sneaky sometimes, but in this case, the evil is as plain as the nose on his face.

Perhaps the US could kick Tony Blair out for us on the way to the gulf?
I probably do trust Tony Blair but his arguments do not stand up for me. Just because you trust some one you do not have to agree with them.

If I knew the answer I can assure you that will be questioning my self, if what I believe is the truth. Ore if it what I want to believe as the truth.
What I fear is that since their no real answers, to the fear of terror that has infected us, we have lost our objectivity, and as such, seeking solution whit out questioning. jaus
