WarInIraq
Saddam is an evil ruler who rules by assassinating all competition and dissenters. Millions of Arabs died in the 10 year war he waged against Iran and he raped the planet burning the oil fields in Iraq. The world should not allow such a man to rule.
But Bush is screwing up royally. The suicide bombers are dancing in their graves for joy. We are turning the world against America, we are putty in their hands, fulfilling the purpose they intended on 9/11.
What do you think the terrorists hoped we would do? Nothing? They want jihad==== and we are obliging them.

The Arab nations do not blame Saddam for the treachery he has unleashed, they blame the Unites States for the CIA support that propped him into power and enabled his reign of terror.
There is no question that the civilized world should not allow an evil ruler like Saddam to terrorize his people and the world. But we should remember that Iraq is an ancient feudalistic society, virtually unchanged for thousands of years. Control by the powerful war lords is their way of life.
It would be wonderful if we could get in and get out with few deaths besides Saddam, but Saddam won't let that happen. He will put people of Iraq in the line of fire, he will burn the oil field, he will unleash chemical and biological weapons. The US will be blamed for everything that happens.
The world hates our arrogance and meddling. we should at least pretend to give a damn about what the world thinks. Bush is threatening all the nations that don't stand by us. they don't like threats. We are making ourselves the bully of the world.
If we wait, Saddam will do something terrible again. It is his nature. We do not wish to wait for that, but without world support we have no reasonable choice. We are not under attack by Saddam yet, Hitler made war unilaterally on the bases of possible attacks, we must be better than that.
We are generating hatred around the world for the US that will surely result in more terrorism.
We declare ourselves a bully when we say we can do anything we want because we are the most powerful. Bush is clearly bullying even our friends, Germany and France. Bush is threatening and abusive toward them, using power rather than reason to try to win them, it won't work, they don't like being bullied and won't stand for it. bushes Nazi-like speeches ain't going to win them over and our threats do not intimidate them, they alienate them.
The world has and will support us in any reasonable action against terrorism.
It is not that we are smart and the rest of the world is stupid.
The whole world was attacked 9/11
What more international target is there than the World Trade Center, none====

We were attached too. that's how bullies become bullies in the first place. But we don't have to be a bully any more. We can change.
"In our dreams====" you say StarPilot. Well our CollectiveIntelligence is actualizing those dreams, let us pray, sooner, rather than later.

We can wage a socioeconomic war in the middle east and win. But in a war of tanks and bombs, nobody wins.
Should our disreguard of world oppinion continue in this way we are being reckless. We are turning China away, Africa, not to mention the Middle East. Will Europe come to our rescue? If you don't want to get burned. Don't play with fire. The seals of the apocalypse are in our hands. Particularly when there is a better way, take the higher road====

Support ousting Saddam. Support local action first, then International, never unilateral action of a foreign power. Try Saddam in World Court, he is clearly a menace to society. Demand that both Saddam and Bush step down. We must admit when we are wrong if we intend to thrive. Bush doesn't even listen to his father and deserves [[|http://www.spankbush.com/index.asp?ref=JimScarver a spanking]].
