Greenpeace fully supports disarming Iraq, and indeed all nations that have weapons of mass destruction (WMD), including the United Kingdom. But pre-emptive military strikes will not help control or abolish these weapons.

India, Pakistan and Israel are known to have nuclear weapons; North Korea is openly seeking to acquire them. All are outside the realms of any international control. The Bush administration has stated that at least 13 countries are pursuing biological weapons research. Does Bush intend to attack each of these in turn?
