This war is important. This war needed to happen. It was a long time overdue. I hate war and killing but we (the US) had no other option but to resolve our conflict with the irresponsible leader of the worlds (2nd) oil reserves. People must stop thinking of Iraq's oil as their oil. Iraq's oil is the worlds oil. The US has a responsability as the worlds super power to control this oil for "proper" distribution amongst the civilized world (US, UK, France, Germany, China and Japan).

It's Iraq's oil. It's their nation. I'm glad you're not the person who dictates foreign policy. You seem to have a misundertstanding of what is a country's property. If you were correct in your assumptions then it would be immoral for the US to sell food to China.

I saw the footage just before he got shot. He was filming the tank and a soldier on top shot him.
I wonder how his camera could have been mistaken for a rocket launcher, they were too close.
It was probably a rookie who got nervous too fast.It's just fucked up

D55D, the only thing I agree with what you're are saying is that many people in that part of the world are uncivilized.
Its Martial Law in much of that part of the world.
But that doesnt entitle anyone else to oil on their land.

forget the oil... .forget the WMD... the sad fact is that these things are just additions to the cold hard fact that spawned this war. Saddam Hussien is an evil and demented person who spreads pain and fear over his populous. Things like WMD and Oil have been added into this whole thing to justify the US action because people are so screwed up in this day and age that people being treated in such a terrible way is no longer a valid reason for a force to intervene. For those of you who feel that this war was unneccessary and that there was another way let me put a situation out in front of you. If you were being mugged and beaten to death on the street and I walked by witnessing it, how would you feel if I kept walking by and acted like I didn't see it happening and thought to myself that is was none of my business or better yet just walked up to the mugger and asked them to stop in a polite manor. NO.. there comes a point where talking is no longer useful and the scum of the earth needs to be removed. Saddam is scum and has now been removed. WMD and Oil are just things that are there to help add to the fact that we were just doing the right thing.

I know. Good arguments. However I think that if i lived in Iraq and another country came in to overthrow the regime that controlled and murdered relatives and loved ones I would welcome the change.

Mal, where are you going with that site you posted? Just curious...

yeah... back when the war was first starting i read an article in a british paper that was written by a guy who went to be a human shield in Iraq.... he was riding in the cab into town and talking to the cab driver...and he was like "bush bad'.... the cab driver turned around and said "NO... bush good".. and soon he saw all the signs the public was displaying for support of the US coming in... he soon realized the mistake he had made... and went back home to tell people how he had been an idiot to be a shield for saddam. I need to find that article. oh found it... he're a quote...
"Anyone with half a brain must see that Saddam has to be taken out. It is extraordinarily ironic that the anti-war protesters are marching to defend a government which stops its people exercising that freedom." - Daniel Pepper - Former Human Shield
MY SENTIMENTS EXACTLY!

Two centuries later, Americans and Europeans have traded places - and perspectives. This is partly because in those 200 years, and especially in the recent decades, the power equation has shifted dramatically: When the United Staes was weak, it practiced the strategies of indirection, the strategies of weakness; now that the United States is powerful, it behaves as powerful nations do. When the European great powers were strong, they believed in strength and martial glory. Now they see the world through weaker powers. These very different points of view have naturally produced different strategic judgments, differing assessments of threats and of proper means of addressing them, idffering calculatioins of interest, and differing perspectives on the value and meaning of international law and institutions.
