The only problems with that statement are that the only country ever to have used nuclear weapons and the only country threatening to kill great numbers of people is the United States, logistically Iraq could not attack America, only American troops that are in places they shouldn't be, Iraq was never "belligerent" toward the United States until we decided we should defend Kuwait, and, as far as I know, Iraq has never threatened to attack the United States.

Saddam has said if he had nuclear / chemical weapons capable of hitting the US he wouldn't hesitate to use them. on MULTIPLE occasions.

he's just a f*cking egoistical bastard that wants to be remembered, and he doesn't care to what respect.

Even if Speer were black you'd be surprised how many black people are very loyal to this country. They're not all monolithic black panthers.

it's not that, it's his seemingly innate hatred of the system as a whole, now professing loyalty.

so confused

So you are saying that a country with an elected government should be able to do anything it wants to a country with an unelected government?

No, I'm saying in a war wishing for the deaths of the people from the republic is implicitly supporting the despotic regime.

I may not support the war in Iraq, but if it happens, I hope we kick their ass.

all the iraquis have to do is lay down their guns and rasie the white flag. no one has to die.

If we go to war unjustly, we deserve to lose. I get sick at the thought of Bush using our American service men and women as pawns in his political games, but if he manufactures this war like he wants to, then I say that we are on the wrong side and should not prevail.

Until Iraq acts with aggression towards the U.S. or our allies, we shouldn't go to war, period. "Pre-emptive" action is fascist lingo for an unjust attack.

Well, if the Republic is being aggressive and in the wrong, then I guess I AM supporting the despotic regime, regardless of other factors.

[Boris Godunov]

It's a fallacy to say that if in a specific war situation one supports the despotic regime against the republican one, based on the circumstances of the war, that one then supports the despotic regime in general.

I think Saddam is a bastard, I wish Iraq would overthrow him. But that doesn't justify our invading and causing the deaths of Iraqis and Americans over what is, so far, a fat lot of nothing.

[Inverse Icarus]

we'll see what "a fat lto of nothing" it is WHEN YOU'RE WORKING IN AN IRAQUI ANTI-GAY CHAMICAL WEAPONS FACTORY!
