    One aspect of why it was right, yes, terrorism.
    And all the others.

    Repeating and ignoring doesn't mean jack.
    Ignore protestors time.

      Terrorism as a reason to attack Iraq? Ahhh... are you one of the people that think Saddam was responsible for 9-11?

      And speaking of terrorism, throwing gasoline on a fire doesn't extinguish it.
      To us, it is the BEAST.

        If those who live in the US could bring themselves to look outside it for a couple of seconds you would see that things aren't so peachy. Your own media are virtually all cheerleaders for the war. Outside it is not like that - particularly in the Islamic world.

        Did you notice for example that Bush cancelled a visit to Ottawa. We all know why - the various protest groups had planned to meet him on parliament hill and give him an earful. It would have been hugely embarassing to him. So far he's been to Northern Ireland which is full of fascists anyway. I wonder where else he'll be able to go without being pelted with eggs?

        The US is now viewed by the majority of the world's inhabitants as a rogue state and the biggest threat to international peace and stability. You've basically burned your boats with your traditional allies and become the problem rather than the solution. If it becomes evident that there were no WMD and Iraq turns to cr@p then Blair is finished - so there's your last remaining friend gone.

        I'll bet OBL is dancing with glee as we speak.

          And to make it all the worse, you still continue to do the same.

          Pick a battle that makes sense.
          Iraq didn't, and doesn't.
          A lot of the protest is anti American. That's still something worth protesting for. If we can get all our folks to use the Euro as a reserve currency then your fat ugly country is doomed.

            Actually sava, all the reasons the anti-war crowd had have been disproven.

            Yup, and that proves my point. Were they free to protest several months ago?

            Why was war with Hussien unavoidable? there are plenty of other dictators with poor human rights records that the US HAS managed to avoid war with.
            If you want to launch war on twenty other nations at the same time be my guest. The US has gotta take this one nation at a time.

            You left have your arguments full of holes.

              Since some of their reasons pertain to the long term situation, that is a patently false statement.

              But will they be free to have an Islamist government if they want one. My guess is - no.

                It was not ill-advised. Your foreign adventure was ill-advised. But you aren't the one paying the price in blood, so you can be happy and dance on their graves all you want. Tens of thousands dead, and new Islamic state in the making, the utter destruction of civilization's history, and you think the Prez was well advised.

                Do you even pay any attention to anything besides FOX? They are completely clueless as to what they are doing in Iraq. All they have managed to do was destroy the country. Idiots! Supreme IDIOTS!
                Yay! More protestors who mainstream can ignore.

                The war has also made the left go completely hysterical, as this post indicates. Many, angry that they didn't get their way as a minority, have turned with hatred toward their countrymen. So one positive side effect from this war has been the comedy value of watching much of the left go bonkers.

                  No actually my statement is true.

                  No. They will have to retain a secular state like Turkey. I know Turkey is in a crapload of problems, economic and political, but there must be a constitution dedicating a secular democratic state. A secular dictatorship or islamic dictatorship is not an option.

                  You have issues. And are really brainwashed.

                    so what Iraq first and why now??? I'll let me help you, 'three letters, the first letter is 'O'? any ideas?

                    If the US wants to kick the **** out of other countries, no one can stop them, they're powerful enough do do it, I just wish they'd quit with the 'it's for the Iraqi people' BS.

                    Just admit 'Like it or lump it, I'm gonna finish Daddies work and take their oil', not nice but at least it's honest

                      Sure.

                      And no it doesn't have anything to do with oil... that is a media lie.

                      It has to do with other nations screwing with US national security. Unacceptable.

                            It is called defense.

                                Let me ask this:

                                Why are you anti-war people so sure that Sadamm Hussein wasn't responsible for 9/11?

                                How do you know UBL isn't some puppet, and Hussein was pulling the strings?

                                All you have to go on is U.S. intelligence which was pretty bad 2 years ago.

                                No I don't think Hussein was responsible, but there was that possiblility.

                                And I think paying the family's of dead terrorist bombers is enough support of terrorism for me. Take him down. This war is part of our war on terrorism. make no mistake about that.
