Welcome to PTSD Forum. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a life threatening, debilitating disorder that can break down a sufferer’s body through anxiety and stress. Further it poses a significant suicide risk resulting from the brains neurological imbalance and chemical depression. Sufferers often live in denial, thus this community is aimed at helping PTSD sufferers help themselves through others experiences, guidance and education. We are here for the sufferer, spouse and families surrounding PTSD. Spouses and family are too often forgotten in this equation, and often they receive all the worst that PTSD has to offer. If you're involved in any way with PTSD, get registered and help yourself now.

Non-active members will eventually be deleted. If you are not a sufferer, carer or someone within the mental health industry, and active, then there is little reason for you to be a member of this forum. Non-active members with zero posts are deleted periodically during the year.

Well, it's debatable whether or not the no-fly zones were actually authorized by the Security Council in the first place, and if not, then they were illegal. UN Security Council Resolution 687 provides for weapons inspections, the oil for food programme etc...thoguht it's true that there were some ceasefire violations; Even if you look at UNSCR 1441, there is no clear authorization for the use of force...Even with violations of ceasefires etc...you still need Secuirity Council Authorization...In terms of other reasons to invade...I suppose the fears over burning oil fields was just looking after the best (economic) interests of Iraqis....and the fact that Halliburton's in Iraq has nothing to do with it either haha

I agree with both your stated opinions Loathe...why anyone would put their own troops at such risk in such a poorly planned mission is beyond me...
