A moral dilemma

[Arrian]

There was a general concensus on "unfinished business." Many people thought the decision to stop where Bush I stopped was a mistake, in retrospect, and that Saddam would never really cooperate with the UN (which would never really make an effort to force him to) and therefore we should just take him out.

Please note that the above is a general outline, and does not reflect my views (some of it, but certainly not all), so don't bother arguing with me over it.

Regarding your moral dilema...i can sympathise (but then I too am less than sober). Personally I would always say I valued human life above all else...but in situations like this it cannot be that black and white. I loath the idea of American soldiers dying and cannot even begin to consider the possibility that more should have been killed because then it would make the US less confident in tramping through every country they come across.

But then, if they continue to do this, it inevitably means loss of life on a far larger scale, as it will mean a large death toll in whatever country they happen to invade...so I do not really know. A pointless post..I have confused myself

Half the population has been wanting another war with Iraq since the last?

Yes, sir. Much more than half. One of the most consistent poll numbers that I've seen.

Human life above all... I'm a love-motived as well as rationality motivated individual. I'm equally sad when anyone, US or Iraqi dies.

War sucks. Blame the donkeys leading the lions.

62% isn't 'much more' than half, especially when considering the margin of error present in all polls.

62% isn't 'much more' than half,

In an election, it'd be a landslide

In matters of war and peace, it is much harder to lead the American people where they don't wish to go than you might think.

That's such crap.

Hope for a speedy end to the war and stabilisation in Iraq and worry about the future later.
