    Aargh!

    I haven't been able to get on the website for a few days now (whats up with that???) http problems of some sort.

    First of all, I have never said this is about oil so that retort to my post is ill placed.

    Second of all, I agree with vonGriffon.

    We are not really talking about the real subject here... Why Iraq, why now, and what are the REAL reasons.

    Of course we can come up with reasons like- it's the humanitarian thing to do, and oh, he has weapons of mass destruction. A number of countries have weapons of mass destruction.
    Why aren't we going after Saudi Arabia, or Israel, or Syria???

    If Saddam is soooo scary, how come he hasn't done anything to the US in the last 10 years since our inspectors left??

    What's the hurry anyway?

    That people are so willing to glide pass the bigger issue of whether or not we, the US, want or should become a country that engages in preemptive strikes amazes me.

    We are about to make a monumental change in world policy and for what??? I haven't read anything that supplies enough reason to do such a thing. I am not afraid of Iraq. Are you, really?

    Even if they have some weapons of mass destruction (which we have no evidence of),
    how are they going to use them?
    How are they going to send them across the ocean to hit our country?

    No one yet has explained how this has anything to with counter terrorism. In fact, it goes against the idea. Iraq is one of the few countries in the Middle East who has a government not based upon religious fundamentalism.

    Just take a look at the countries who are very against our position: Russia and China are 2 of them.
    Are we going to create an environment that would make them bedpartners?
    Shall we enter the next cold war right now?
    We already pissed off the Chinese as soon as Bush took office, why not do it again?

    China: now THAT is a country I would be afraid to be up against, forget Iraq.
