I think your both right, SLY and Rask. My countries order to force war is wrong, both Bush and Saddam are lying about their reasons. That's politics, if I've learned anything from it. It's that politicians will only tell you what you want to hear to get your support. Bush to me is a fool, his agenda in this whole matter is more personal than diplomatic. He's a ticked off Texan who wants revenge on the guy who tried to kill his daddy. He said it himself but now he's trying to cover it up with terrorism and the fact that Saddam is a dictator. First of all, Saddam wasn't the one who bombed us. So let me ask what happened to the primarily agenda of finding Bin Laden??? We should be focusing more of our resources to that end and protecting our mainland. War is only leaving us open, if Bush had any intelligent he would know this. This leaves me to believe, he just doesn't care as long as he gets his revenge. The cost of lives is meaningless, and he’s a coward. Saddam challenged him to a debate, and Bush answered only with irrelevant jokes. I am not pro-Saddam but I will not support a meaningless war where many of my country men and country are put in greater danger because of our leaders personal differences.

Now yeah Saddam is a dictator and he has weapons of mass destruction. The US in its best interest should get rid of the weapons first, but seriously he would be a fool to use them. We have much more destructive weapons at our disposal which could turn Iraq into just a big crater. Now we don’t know where Bin Laden is, but we do know where Saddam is. So it’s much easier for us to jump on his tail. As for removing him from office, I think that's a decision for the people of that country and as far as I know that's not exactly what they want. Although I believe this support is done in fear. Plus, I think Iraq would serve better under a new leader. If we were to go into Iraq and force this, we would only be doing the same thing that Iraq did to Kuwait 10 yrs ago. As for Germany, France, and Russia, they're doing the EXACT same thing. For the profit of oil, so F*** them. Who will rule Iraq after Saddam is out?? Well of course someone picked from the Bush administration, to me it‘s called conquering. The UN is right to veto our actions because this is exactly what they stand strongly against.

This is sad to say, but I’m in much more fear of my own government than that of another or terrorism. The thing what ticks me off about the 9/11 thing is our own government knew that something was going to happen, but let our pride blind us from it. Not that we knew where, and when but in that week; they were aware of suspicious things going on. Threats for the most part, and we ignored them and look what happened. Now again we are ignoring a much greater threat by starting a war (accompanied by more threats). To me this is a battle plan, and it would work flawlessly. Force our troops and much of our defensive systems away from the mainland to fight the war with Iraq, while terrorists invade and start destroying what they can. They would have less resistance with our forces half way across the world. Again we are setting ourselves up for more disaster because of our pride and stupidity.
