<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Originally posted by markie: Wars are not generally fought over how a country mistreats its citizens. Name one example?<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>I didn't say that those were reasons to go to war. If that were the basis for war, we would have a lot of war to wage. The reasons for military action are clear, and they are a direct result of Iraq's failure to comply with the UN's demands concerning their weapons program. I hope that the result of war (if it comes to that) will allow the Iraqi people to live without fear of being imprisoned, tortured, gassed, etc. by their own government for the sole purpose of scaring them into submission.

It would build a lot of the goodwill that the US is sorely lacking.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>we can agree on that, too bad so many people in the US equate this kind of thought with antisemitism

This "war" is about many things... I feel the greatest is protecting the U.S. on the broad scope. The best way to view Hussein and Iraq is comparing them to the mob. Just being Americans is the crime. The opposing side will strike, but this war is all about the future of this country. I can't see peace being an option when governments like the ones in the news believe the only good American is a dead one. As for Germany and France... how quickly we forget. Understandable however, considering specific memory tends to fade over 58 years. No one wants to get on the bad side of this Mob, but the U.S. really has very little choice at this point. Talk is cheap. Peace is very nice and idealistic, but I'm sorry to say, it's not the way the world works and not what made this (U.S.) country what it is today.

You have to admit (or not, I suppose) that the UN targets Israel more than anyone else in this department. Don't think so? Read this, even if you don't agree, it's interesting: <A HREF="http://www.canoe.ca/Columnists/goldstein_feb9.html" TARGET=_blank>http://www.canoe.ca/Columnists/goldstein_feb9.html[/url]

Do you think the middle east will be more stable when a catholic led QANGO is in charge of Iraq?I dont.It will just generate even more resentment of the US in my opinion.

I think you can find many examples that show the opposite. Peace is not the way the world works because people haven't worked that way. And, quite frankly, I have no great desire for the U.S. to remain what it is today, it would be nice if the country used its power for positve change a little more often and a little less selectively.
