IRAQ: Is War The Answer? -War is not, and never will be the answer to the situation of nuclear armament in Iraq, for a multitude of reasons. -Firstly, with regards to America’s proposed pre-emptive strike, such an action without UN supposrt would not only be immoral, but would be illegal under international law. It has recently been stated that any nations involved in such an aggressive and anti-humanitarian act could be held accountable for war crimes – including Australia. -It has been clearly established that by no means have all viable peaceful alternatives to military intervention been exhausted – on the contrary, the UN inspectors have not finished their job nor have they yet found sufficient evidence to warrant such an attack. -The supposed threat of Saddam Hussein, continually reiterated by the US government, is mostly fabricated – though it IS evident that Hussein is armed, he has never actually said anything to suggest a direct threat on US security or safety.
