There is very little logic in saying 'we gave him a chance' - who says the chance was yours to give? Not the UN. If the UN wants to authorise force, it will do so directly.

    Keep going. Soon the word 'terrorist' will be completely meaningless. You are wrong, of course, in the sense that terrorism refers to violence used by a minority to exert political pressure against an established government or majority. State tyranny is typically better described as 'authoritarian', 'totalitarian', 'Republican' etc. (NB: JOKE). By calling Saddam a 'terrorist' in the same way that the 9/11 guys were terrorists you confuse the issue and allow yourself to unconsciously tie together two completely unrelated phenomena. George Orwell would be proud.
