...should not be a war on Iraq.

Removing Saddam Hussein is not a job for the military, its a job for the CIA and some Iraqi's that would like to see Saddam go.

Remember what happend to Ceausescu in Romania after the Berlin Wall went down? That is the way to get rid of Saddam Hussein.

i just want him dead and forgotten... aqll hes doing now with his ICBM research and push for nuclear weaponry is hes trying to make some kind of legacy as a balls to the wall Muslim leader who stoo against USA and Israel, and if he can secure that by sending a nuclear payload to Israel or the US he will, he just needs to die.

why not pay 20 morons a few thousand dollars to asassinate hussein ? wouldn't that be cheaper and more effective ? oh.. sorry.. i forgot.. assassination is immoral..

go ahead and bomb a few peseant villages... *walks off*

Why cant the Iraqi people assassanate him on thier own? oh yeah he has overwhelming support from his puppet population sinc erhe has a soldier on every corner killing those who dont comply. so yes lets kill a peasant village. Personally i blame the Iraqi people for what he is doing they SHOULD rise up and rebel, just like i blame the Afghani people for submitting to fucking lunatic Taliban, and Just like i dont offfer any Sympathy to Cubans who bitch about being COmmie scum because they wont rise up either.

Yes but if they don't know what is happening how can they ber told, all you know is what you are told. ALl they are being told is that the U.S. is picking on the, they happen to make little mention of the usage of Chemical weapons on the Shi'a and Kurdish populous. The breach of weapons resolutions and the insitance of inspectors is used as the white devil interfearing in the muslim affairs. They think Hussein is a hero because they're constantly told he's a hero. They don't see the U.N.'s POV. the only way is to get control of their press and media and TELL them what to think

Hell it works in the West.

but noooo neon thats imperialism nooooo...

Im back to add my uninformed, unintelligent opinion.

I say if we launch enough cruise missiles, one will get lucky and hit him.

Sixgun, I finally agree with you. A military op is the wrong way to go.

However, Imperialism which allows them to make their own decisions regarding democrcay is better then Imperialism where another country comes in and chooses the group form which the new leader will come.

At least aside from implication, they dropped regime change as an outspoken policy.

I mean, isn't the whole thing about making certain they are disarmed, and if the aren't, forcing disarmament? Wouldn't that imply that the sooner the inspectors go in, the better? Why is Bush holding out? Iraq even said that they'll allow inspection of presidential palaces. Go in, and the burden is on Iraq not to make one false move. I'm wondering at the hesitation for Bush to ok it. Really makes me think he's wanted war all along, regardless of the inspectors.

he does want war, he wants saddam dead even prez Clinton said that the only way to stablize that section of the middle east was for Saddam to go away.

And that's what I disagree with; Saddam dying won't magically bring peace to the area; the only way you can even control who DOES come to power after Saddam is by setting up a puppet government, which is back to the imperialism dig. And we've found in the last century, imperialism comes back and bites you.

It has alot to do with the religious ethics they have in the countries of the Middle East. For them it is not just a religion it is a way of life and for some Saddam Hussein is their prophet.
The war on Afghanistan was different- the country was almost defenceless apart from a few hundred thousand Al-Qaida fighters, but Iraq has nuclear weapons.
Its scary. The Middle East is very volatile and needs to be sorted, but war on Iraq I do not think is the way.

i think they should go down there and eliminate the world leaders that keep instigating violence between their factions...one man won't make a difference just an example...leave those who want to cooperate and replace those that aren't...ideally they would let the people choose their own leaders...however the american government is as greedy and selfish as these other nations...and aside from our freedoms...i don't think it will make a difference to anyone but those that are seeking glory...it's the people ultimately that have to want peace..until then world leaders are just taking advantage of an unfortunate situation...whatever pursuits they may hope to gain from it...i don't think a war is an answer anymore...

That wood be Bush and Blair gone then Jordyn.....

Neon

gone where?

not really Neon, last i checked Bush and Blair were securing thier own nations interests as well as the interests of other nations. Petty squabblers in the middle east who only seek to destroy rather than to play ball is CLEARLY what JOrdy meant.

Blair securing his own nations interests? I think you should check again.

I agree with the French consolite. This thing between Sadam and Bush is a personal vendita and should be settled in a duel. The two whole nations should not be dragged into this. But honestly, everybody knows that Sadam knows how to use a sword. Bush would be luckly just to hold one properly.
They approved action against Mr. Insane, this is only going to push the US into a deeper depression...

Your R correct, bring back Maggie!
