    I don't know what I will do. I'm against the war, but probably not enough to go protest. I seriously doubt that the majority of Americans support this war.

      The number to topple Hussein through military means is 66%, with 46% strongly supporting. You've been reading Apolyton too much.

          My mom doesn't even support this war, and she's about as fundamentalist conservative pro-Bush as they come.

            Ah, the voices of irrelevance will be heard. As well as the voices of hypocrisy. I'd bet money that there won't be an anti-Saddam posters (as he's the one who would be causing war) at any of these protest.

              How is Saddam causing the war, when clearly the US is the one building up to invade? That's nonsensical. That's like saying the Poles caused WW2 by not surrendering to Hitler.

                No, I've seen the polls. I've never seen the numbers that you give. I would like to know what polls these are.

                    Don't be so defeatist. Politicians don't completely ignore these things. If enough people make it clear they are opposed, there will be mild compromises made, which is better than nothing. No reasonable person expects that the revolution will start tomorrow, but I know what would definitely happen if everyone stayed indoors.

                    Witness Chretien's commitment of more troops to Afghanistan. It virtually means that Canada will not send troops to an Iraq war (or so I have heard). The obvious reason for his doing so is that most Canadians don't like the idea of a war against Iraq.

                      Chretien is playing Canadians for fools. He's delaying, but he will send. Every day they hint more at it.

                        Ignoring ones feelings toward the UN and whether they have a right to demand disarmament, Iraq is in violation of UN resolutions. His refusal to disarm is causing this.

                          So if the UN demanded the US disarm, and the US ignored them, then if the UN attacked us the US would be at fault?

                            Good fantasy David. How exactly would the Sec Council ever pass that US disarm resolution considering the US has a veto? Not to mention the UN rarely, if ever, demands any state disarms.

                            But, that's OK. Keep on keeping on in your twisted views of whatever the world should do so as not to inconvenience you yourself personally.

                              btw, I'll go to work tomorrow. I'll spare a thought for the twots demonstrating in a foot of snow in DC. Then I'll most likely fart.

                                So do you all think that we all should be continuing to supply aid to all of these countries opposing us? Because we are, by far, the largest grantor of foriegn aid, I'm sure you know.
