, That is not being kicked out! They had the OPTION to stay, they thought it would be best to leave!
They had an option to stay you say? Stay and do what exactly. See how cool or exiting it would be to be bombed?
U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Anan on Monday ordered all U.N. inspectors and support staff, humanitarian workers and U.N. observers along the Iraq-Kuwait border to evacuate Iraq after U.S. threats to launch war
U.N. Inspectors Leave Iraq Fox News
Your ignorance readily matches the ignorance that OldStyle has been expressing on this thread. UNMOVIC and IAEA employees are civilians and they do not serve in active war zones or places that are threatened to become a war zone. If you worked for UNMOVIC and the very real 'threat' of war was coming in two days, I doubt you would consider it an option for you to stay. No one could force you to stay. And then there is the practical common sense matter that is the absolute impossibility for the UN inspectors to continue unimpeded with there work as US bombs and missiles are raining down upon them, and a couple hundred thousand heavily armed soldiers are rushing toward the areas where the work needed to be done. Bush did not offer any guarantees for UNMOVIC stall's safety should they decide they would like to stay and hope they would not be killed or wounded. There is no option to stay because there would be no work to do if they stay. Your point is ludicrous. It is totally absurd and fully asinine.
