    Massive anti-war demo in Italy.

    Come on we have like a dozen iraq threads and nothing about this at Poly?



    Here I provide the first item you fill in the rest of the info!

    15-0.
    I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

        They know how war will be averted. Convince Iraq to follow the UN's demands.

            Apparently the Security Council deemed the Iraqi effort otherwise.

              Good thing that nothingbad happened.

              Last time we hosted one of those demonstration (a couple of years ago in Genoa) it ended in a massive fight of Demos vs Military-Police

              This time everything is going peacefully.

              I went yerstuday in Florence to take part of the Demo.

              There were a lot of people from other nationalities, it was great.

              What I didn't like instead was that I was one of the few people of the political right in the demo.

                Saddam called the resolution "diabolical", so whatever these demonstrators do, war is practically certain.

                  DanS, so now the UN is all good? Iraq accepted unconditional entry of Weapon inspectors.

                    Wrong! Iraq would never comply with anything... except some communists and other leftists will believe the Iraqi Government for the 17th time that they will... but of course they will lie again and nothing will get done if we follow the ideas of the radical left.

                    Therefore the left must be ignored, and they are being ignored, so the war will be started.

                      If Iraq does comply it will be because he knows that if he does not then he will end up like the Taliban. The only thing Saddam understands is brute force. That's why we have a full squadron of B-2 bombers, 4 carrier groups, and several thousands tanks and marines ready to back up this resolution. That, Saddam understands.

                      When are liberals going to understand that when you are dealing with a dictator like Saddam, appeasement is what causes war, but the threat of war is what creates peace.
                      'There is a greater darkness than the one we fight. It is the darkness of the soul that has lost its way. The war we fight is not against powers and principalities, it is against chaos and despair. Greater than the death of flesh is the death of hope, the death of dreams. Against this peril we can never surrender. The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.'"

                        At least they get their voices heard. If I lived closer, I'd definitely be there, too.

                          We understand that and have no respect whatsoever for sadam. but if he deos comply because of brute force threat then a war must NOT happen.


                          but the problem is that the US wants a war nevertheless because of oil.

                            Incorrect statement number one. The US wants peace in the region and protesting about it, wanting appeasement will create nothing but problems. The US can accomplish peace by the use of military force.

                              Believe it or not, but Bush does not want to attack Saddam just for the heck of it.

                              If Saddam complies then we won't have to fire a single shot! We would only have to actually attack Saddam if he fails to comply.
