"We are the cause of that tinder box fixing to ignite."
It wouldn't be us that is responsible. Maybe you want to carry the sins of the world but don't blame it or the rest of the American people.
"Now you expect them to all lay down, and let us take them over?"
They can lay down now or lay down when their Apocalypse come. What difference does it make?
"We are the aggressors"
You think we are the aggressors?
We are the purveyors of peace and security for the rest of the world. The only one that seems to give a damn. The only one that's looking above our interests. The one that's taking the insults for doing the right thing.
We can do it now or wait till it may, very well, be Too late.
I don't understand how people can read all that's written about Iraq, Saddam and the Terrorist and only comprehend the parts that may make the President or the United States look bad.
Amen,
We need a better educational system,

Hi Helen -
I agree - civilians would suffer in the event of an attack on Saddam, who is clearly the target.
Saddam will be remembered as one of the biggest cowards in history for drawing his defenses in around Baghdad, thereby turning the civilian population into human shields intended to protect him.
When all is said and done, however, the loss of innocent Iraqi life will be much smaller than what it would be if Saddam's brutal regime was allowed to survive. His atrocities against his own people to date prove that . . .
The US will do its best to minimize civilian injuries, which is the polar opposite of what Saddam's buddies in Al-Qaida
sought with the World Trade Center/Pentagon attacks of 9/11.

I'll give you a prediction too about this "urban warfare" that is supposed to take place in Bagdad- it won't occur.
We will surround Bagdad and have refugee camps and hospitals set up outside the city and then we will wait. We will have fly over recon, and if the Republican guard shoots or paints with radar, a pinpoint bomb lands on them.
As civilians and unarmed surrendering military walk out of Bagdad, we deliver humanitarian care.
There will be little or no house to house fighting in Iraq. Once we have control of the rest of the country, we have all the time we need to wait out Bagdad defences.

Hi reamond -
I hope that's the case, but I'm worried about Saddam's henchmen killing their own civilians if they try to leave.
There are plenty of Saddam's bullies who know they will face war crime tribunals after Saddam's regime falls - they have nothing to lose.
Taking out Saddam early on is the key to the liberation of Iraq.

Tsk,Tsk,again with the names,and this is suppose to be rational thought?.Sure didnt change my mind.
Show me the head of Bin Laden,remember him?
Hes the guy behind the reason, we are over there.Dont jump up and go to another bad guy, before finishing the job at hand.
And no one knows how this is going to turn out.
Speculate all you want about war.Show me any peace negotiations,that "all" avenues have been explored for a peaceful resolution.
Show me the mass amount of weapons that we are suppose to be so afraid of,that we go directly to war.

ferncrestmotel,
After 3,000 Tomahawk missiles are fired in 48 hours on Baghdad alone, I doubt that there will be many Iraqi's left to suffer or need humanitarian help. In a country in which half the population are children, this will be a ferocious attack. I hold George Bush and his administration responsible for this massacre on the poor people of Iraq.
I believe that you are wrong about Saddam. He will exit out the back door, just like Osama bin Laden with his family in tow and the innocent people of Iraq will suffer.
Hi junquemama!
I have to replace my monitor and I'll be lucky if I can accomplish this today. BBL

and I hold the people of Iraq responsible for letting that madman stay in power for so long... they are sheep and if they are too stupid to either remove Saddam or leave... then I say the gene pool is better off without them...
They should be in the streets right now protesting to get Saddam to abdicate.

I hope you're right about Saddam bailing out, Helen. That would end the war in a heartbeat. Better yet, why doesn't he act like a man and spare his people all that suffering by leaving now?.
As for holding George Bush accountable, you'll have your chance in 2004, as will those of us who think he's handling this correctly.

This is all bull****! Everyone, including our leftist friends, knows Iraq is not giving up their WOMD's. I think the left WANTS Iraq and other rogue countries to have WOMD's. It's a good way to lessen the US's power and influence in the world. And a destroyed US city would teach us a lesson for throwing our weight around.

Jmama, if that was directed at my post... that maybe, but considering we are about to invade just because of Saddam... is he really worth dying for?
and please don't try to turn that around, because that is not even a plausible result ever... Iraqis dying with Saddam, is...
