I'm not against war, but I think Bush has his priorities mixed up. He got fucked in Afghanistan just like the Soviets did and like we did in Vietnam. We were fighting a guerilla war and depsite how great our military is we do not fare well against guerilla warfare. No large army can. Bush couldn't put Osama's head on a stick so he wants to use Saddam's instead. If there is a credible threat to the US by Iraq then why has Bush not put this evidence on public display? Don't use the "sensitive intelligence" excuse because it doesn't work. If he had the proof we would know about it. He is hoping to cloud the reasons and get his war and put Saddam's head on a stick. I totally agree that Saddam is a menace and needs to be stopped, but all out war to remove one man? Without Saddam Iraq will fall. Basically all the experts agree on that fact. I don't have the answer how to remove him, but an all out modern war isn't the answer. Bush wants 250k soldiers to fight against Iraq. Why didn't he want that many to fight Osama after he attacked the US directly? Osama's head didn't come with the Oil?
I'm with those of you that think the majority of Muslim's are the enemy. The Western religions may have rules such as "You shall have no other gods before Me." but you don't hear Jerry Falwell or Pat Robertson on TV telling America we need to kill every person that believes in Allah. The Muslim clerics teach that if you do not believe in Allah you are an infadel and it is your duty to get rid of those who do not believe. With such contrasting beliefs how can we ever live in peace? Too bad John Lennon never found a magic lamp and got 3 wishes.
Imagine there's no countries,
It isnt hard to do,
Nothing to kill or die for,
No religion too,
Imagine all the people
living life in peace...
I'm against war with Iraq until they become a credible threat to us, but if Bush goes to war with them I'll support our troops 100%.
