DU Archive (Jan-27-2003): With UN approval, would you support military action?
I think that this archived thread is very interesting in the light of the fact that we now have elected officials of both parties openly calling for war against Syria:
Jan-27-2003 - Initial Post: "There is currently a divide among critics of the Bush war drive. Some remain opposed to military action against Iraq, regardless of what UN inspectors say, or what resolution is or is not passed by the UN Security Council. Others, including the leaders of Germany and France, have stated that war is the last, least desirable option, but an option nonetheless, presumably if 'circumstances change.'"
"If Hans Blix gave up on the possibility of progress via inspections, and the UN Security Council were to pass a resolution approving forceful, military measures, would you support such action, perhaps support it, or definitely oppose it? This is a valid question, especially if the momentum of the anti-war movement is not to be side-tracked by diplomatic or other setbacks."
