This picture shows the leaders of Germany and France at a recent meeting in Europe. On the left is France's Jacques Chirac; on the right is Germany's Gerhard Schroeder. Mr. Chirac made headlines worldwide recently when he said he would not support a U.S. invasion of Iraq without UN support. Germany's Mr. Schroeder says his country will not support an invasion under any circumstances. These two countries lead the opposition to an invasion of Iraq -- and France is a key member of the UN Security Council. Nations that back the U.S. include Spain, Italy, Australia, Poland, Turkey and some of the Arab gulf states like Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. Experts say there will soon
be 150,000 U.S. troops in Kuwait. Those who oppose a U.S. invasion
say the inspectors haven't been given enough time, that the U.S.
should not start a war with Iraq without backing by the UN, and
that U.S. action in Iraq would destabilize the entire Middle
East. That means they think an invasion of Iraq will inflame
the populations of Arab countries in the region, making governments
there less stable. Based on what you've seen and read, how
would you answer the question you see here? Do you think the
U.S. should invade Iraq, even if it doesn't get backing by the
UN? Should the U.S. worry about what other nations think of us
if we invade Iraq? Do you think President Bush has made a good
case for invading Iraq? Explain your answers. |
