Right you lot. I can't make up my mind about this war stuff. It's a very complicated issue. A lot of the opinions I read here often seem rather woolly. Have a look at these 2 well written and concise articles.

Thanks for the links. I am glad to find someone that is not 100% in either way. There's a lot to learn, and a lot to understand about this.
Hopefully more people will read those articles. They're simply informative, at the least.

Mitsu : that genuinely is my opinion, and I hold to that. Spinning these lies is a clear propaganda run, pure and simple.

it's idiotic to think our goals to kill iraqi children, then to think we'd think about simply cause they look different, thats harsh...

here is my 2 cents.
the reason we're not as concerned with n. korea is that they only have one, possibly two nukes. now if they do launch one it would take roughly 28 minutes to reach U.S. soil. in 30 seconds we will have known of the launch and we would then scramble fighters to intercept the rocket from one of more than a dozen airfields across the country. that's not a problem. even if they sell it to terrorists (the warhead) they would have to somehow smuggle the refrigerator sized warhead into the U.S. which is not an easy task by any means.
so instead we choose iraq as our main concern because they are known to have, for a fact, chemical and biological weapons. it would be much easier to smuggle a steel drum, or vial (sp?) of an agent into the U.S. and saddam would be more than happy to sell, or give, the agent to terrorists to us.
that is why i support the war.
actually, now the possibility of an outbreak on any foreign soil is possible so you should all be aware of the possibility as well.
our troops will be fighting a war so that i may live my life free, and free from fear.
you bet i support it.

Iraq cannot damage the US. It doesn't have the range.
That is why we will attack them. We know that they can't fight back.

sure they can. smuggle a cargo of a chemical agent onto U.S. soid and open it abord the ship. the wind current from the ocean carries it into the city and whalla.... they've damaged about a couple hundred thousand U.S. citizens.
roughly.

kona, care to comment on the fact that the chemicals which the iraqis MIGHT have would by now have passed their "best before" date...also the Anthrax they had, if they ever managed to stabilise VX then it too is rendered useless within a couple of years....
ie EVEN if they do have chemical and or bio warfare, the stuff is by now as harmfull as smarties......

would you believe they would just let all of the agents they had sit on a shelf and rot, or, would you believe that iraq would spend all of these years testing, re-testing, formulating and recreating the agents on their own and stockpiling them for future use? seems silly to not to don't you think?

"acting like they have no opinion, doing marches"
would they (we!) really be doing marches if they didn't have an opinion?

Fuck it. Here goes.
If you want to stand by bush, then do so and damn well accept the consequences, the responsibility and the burden of doing so.
I choose to see him as a sociopath with no right to the power he now wields. And I too accept the consequences and the responsibility for my opinion.
I choose the see the hypocrisy in the cabinet - donald rumsfield used to be the envoy to iraq. cheney sold the guy weapons in the 90's. It is so transparent to me that I cannot help but think the way I do. Pro-war people, i'm sure you feel the same about your opinion. But you will never convince me that you are right.

kona, and how pray tell would that be possible whilst being monitored constantly?
(considering that the manufacture, development and testing of such weapons requires activity which causes radiation easily picked up by monitoring, not to mention large heavy equipment which would have to imported)

What I want to know is what WW2 has to do with anything thats going on right now. I keep hearing in the news "we saved them in WW2. Why won't they back us up now?"
In my opinion, this war maybe a necessary evil. What I can't understand is alienating our Alies because they question our intentions.
I personally feel I learn more from people that disagree with me. Then again, I'm not a country.?????????

radiation?!?
most biological weapons can be manufactured in the back of a semi, or in a basement.
you can make some pretty deadly airborn shiznit with a few select household items under your kitchen sink. go online and do a search, there are quite a few recipes.
monitoring... haha. take a country that size and put one hundred 'inspectors' in it. how much ground do you think they can cover in a day? even a thousand... how much area do you think they can monitor.
