| Position: | PRO to the question "Should the U.S. have attacked Iraq?" | |||||||||
| Reasoning: | "The United States and its partners in this finally said, enough. We have now come to New York every week for about four weeks and heard the reports of the inspectors. And what is clear is that, even though there has been some progress with respect to process, there has been no fundamental change, no strategic change on the part of Saddam Hussein. He is not in compliance of this resolution [1441], therefore the serious consequences anticipated and built into this resolution are now ready to be applied against Saddam Hussein." President's International Affairs Budget for 2004
