So what if we DO want war with Iraq?

[MrBaggins]

Not one country in the area or the rest of the world, for that matter are, per se, friends with Iraq.

They are the only expansionist power in the region.

They are also enthusiastic developers of WMD- enthusiastic chemical & bio-weapon developers... innovating developing a supergun. History of Saddam's exploits are well documented. He says he's sorry... and won't do that any more...

Right... and if you believe that... then I gotta bridge to sell you.

Whats the problem here, people?

That some Iraqi's are going to die?

They seemed to have no difficulty in surrendering last time. They saw the outcome... they should just surrender a bit earlier this time to save on the casualties.

They only have themselves to blame if they stand in front of the overwhelming force.

Now we find out that the government was planning this war to drop more laws on us that will take away our constitutional rights. Bottom line is, you have to trust them, and I don't anymore.

You mean aside from Israel, Turkey, and Syria?

So what if we DO want war with the US?

Not one country in the area or the rest of the world, for that matter are, per se, friends with the US.

They seemed to have no difficulty in surrendering in 1812. They saw the outcome... they should just surrender a bit earlier this time to save on the casualties.

Beat me to it, orange

the part about 1812 was a stretch, but I figure having your capital burnt to the ground while your leaders run for the hills is close enough

[MOBIUS]

Anyone who wants war when there are still other alternatives available is a fool, and definitely deserves to be looking down the wrong end of a barrel themselves...

Hey Orange, I like it when you rewrite history.

I'd argue for shooting all the war-mongers, since they like seeing violence done to innocents, but they're far more likely to have guns than the anti-war crowd.

Not the Libertarian or Pat Buchanan objectors.... they could do the shooting easily.

I am filled with both fear and joy. I know there's nothing we can do to stop the US from murdering the people of Iraq, but it heartens me greatly to see the swelling opposition in America to this murder carried out in our name. If only we had time.

We burnt Washington down in 1814 tho' not 1812 ( which was when the war started )

And we'll do it again if necessary, get rid of Bush quick Americans or be prepared to cry "The British are coming!" again

[NeOmega]

Nope no time, once March approaches it is too hot, and chemical suits are too hot to be practical.

Just burning cities.....

I predict Cincinnati, Seattle, San Fransisco, Washington D.C. , Los Angeles and Hollywood, Sacremento, and oh say Minneapolis (why not?) will erupt into rioting within days of the outbreak.

I know it sounds crazy but there are alot of "far right" objectors to the war also..... including fundamentalist Christians.
