Izaway...
If the U.S. made serious mistakes in foreign policy before, and if the things it is suffering right now are consequences of that, what makes you think they'll do things right this time...? Not to say they are always wrong, but well... the track record isn't very good. This war would be like cutting your head off because you have a headache. I mean.. sure it would get rid of the headache, but the consequences will be worse. Just like some of the other decisions that were taken in the past. Sure... ok, so the U.S. has made mistakes. Fine, let's forget about those... But don't let them make the same fucking mistakes again!!!

just when i thought i was done with my own thread. i looked up the story of how Sadaam plotted to kill George Bush Sr. on his trip to Kuwait in 1993. Clintion responded to the plot by launching 23 tomahawk missles into Iraq. The article had a quote from former pres. Clinton which for some reason caught my attention. Here it is:
Clinton, speaking in a televised address to the nation at 7:40 last night, said he ordered the attack to send three messages to the Iraqi leadership: "We will combat terrorism. We will deter aggression. We will protect our people."
Sounded kind of similar to what Pres. Bush said in his speech last night. Thought you should know before you make your next effigy.

jamesh thanks for that link. most excellent.
BTW all you Bush and Clinton squabblers don't understand that it matters NOT who is in the office of the president. it likely hasn't mattered ever... it's RICH people and entities that control our government. If you think that is some cuckoo conspiracy ask yourself: "do congressmen bow to money and special interests"?

Jamesh and chilaquil: ýou express what I think.
And bB, don't worry, I think something good can come from this thread.
I'm just glad that this whole Iraq thing is opening more and more peoples eyes to 'the american way'. Hopefully a lot of americans will wake up too. Why is it so important to bomb Iraq? (And don't say it's because S.H. is a fucking lunatic, I know that but there's other ways around it.
Peace.
