We all care, thats why we want Saddam Hussein out - to stop
the murdering and pillaging. Don't give me this load of crap
about caring. Pah what rubbish.

As opposed to doing nothing and having no forseeable end to
it.

I'm on the fence - of course I don't like the idea of people
killing each other - but I also don't like the idea of
Sadaam Hussein continuing his reign.

-Diplomacy seems to have come to a standstill.
-The troops are in place and with the summer approaching
time is running out.

but...

-Are the weather conditions and cost justifiable reasons for
going to war?
-What are the ramifications of taking such action without a
broad consensus?

I said "for those who still care" because mostly when
petitions are mentioned people say "oh whats the use
anyway". the use is, its nice to voice your opinion.

I don't want to discuss it anymore either - just sign the
petition if you want to or just don't.

either way is fine, ofcourse.

there will be thousands of dead innocent people filling the
streets of Bahgdad soon......children split in half by
thousands of pounds of explosives......women ripped away
from their children because they have just seen that child
blown up, with the pieces scattered out all over the
street........

The US has given Saddam all of his supplies to be the terror
that the media tells us he is, Saddam was trained to be a
dictator at the School of Americas in the state of Georgia
here in the US........

this is what you support by supporting the bush
administration.....

I'm not trying to downplay anything. War will not be pretty,
but unless Saddam goes into exile it's the only way things
will ultimately improve for the Iraqis.

this is highly questionable. you just have to look at

military force is unnecessary in ousting Saddam. what is
needed is a Cartman. (not funny unless you've seen the South

Yes, there will be dead Iraqis and some Americans too. War
is always the last option because it is so horrible - but
it's been 12 years of UN resolutions - and still Sadaam has
chemical and biological weapons.

Providing a broad critique of US foreign policy doesn't
address the question: What do we do with Sadaam?

Atop, what's your answer?

Euhm,

of the several resolutions that involved the Israelians,
none was ever brougth into practice by them. Why isn't Bush
fighting the Israelians? He is actually donating 5 billion
dollars to them on a yearly basis.

Explain this double moral please?

Or can we agree that money (oil for Iraq and diamonds for
judes/Israelians) has a lot to do with this?

stop listening to the media, it's biased towards the bush
administration, so what you are spouting out is just
rhetoric from them, I know you don't realize this but it's
true........my answer is for all of us to stop what we are
doing and kill the economy, stop using Gasoline, have all
banks closed, and start living not working for money for all
of our lives, we don't need it, it's a system that has been
implanted here to trap us in our mundane mediocre
complascent lives........this will happpen only when
everything is so bad that there is no more to work for and
everything is on the verge of armageddon.....

Atop, you really do have some strange views... why don't you
go to iraq and become a human shield for Saddam as you seem
to agree with him being in power?

Surely the future of Iraq can only be better without Saddam.

and instead of talking shit about armageddon how about
giving us all your peaceful solution to dissarming Iraq and
freeing the Iraq people from his regime... oh sorry you
don't know a peaceful solution do you?

Okay, how about a realistic alternative. I'm all for
idealism but let's be pragmatic for a second, capitalism is
not going to fall due to the current situation in Iraq. I'm
pretty confident of that.

So how about a viable (realistic) alternative?

The US media is biased towards the Bush administration. Our
media in the UK is generally more balanced, tabloids aside.

its pointless discussing it now, the UN has tomorrow to
decide wether they will uphold the resolution that 4 months
ago called for "immediate dissarmament of face serious
consiquences". If Iraq disssarms withing the next day or
Saddam leaves the country we will have what everyone
wants... peace.

Its all up to Saddam

People who are opposed to ending this militarily never cease

Too right, and it's not just 4 months. Disarmament was a
condition for the cessation of the Gulf War 12 years ago.

"How will the Iraqis know if there is an improvement if they

are all dead or mourning the loss of their children?"

how about the people who could be killed by Saddam who may
have lived had his regime been destroyed?

it works both ways, don't think your morals are better than
anyone else's cos there not.

"lack of realistic alternatives"

thats because there is no alternative... we could give him
another month like the French want but all this will do is
give worse weather conditions for our (not the french) armed
forces to work in.

Saddam will not dissarm, its amazing how people after 12
years think he will. duh!

1° saddam was really armed by the US (they gave him PLENTY
of anthrax)
2° don't tell me this is to put saddam down, the region we
speak (maybe you haven't listened to your history classes)
has been the key to many worlwide crisis for long enough to
know that it's purely for geopoliticoeconomico reasons
bush&co want the war...
3° it's very easy to disarm saddam pacificaly if you have
100 000 000 000 $
4° things aren't going to be better for irakis (discutable)
and americans
5° i'm tired of people who can't see that History is just
the same stories over and over again and belive that the war
is done because bush fears saddam (LOL) or hate him

atop, you throw out the most assining retoric i've heard.
yes people will die in a war, what the fuck do you think
it's called a war for. let me guess you thought you could
order a big mac, large fries and war with no causalties.

1.5 million people have died under his regime and all he
would have had to do is step down.

nacmat you must be in denile. i don't see how you can use
the logic of lets not attack causing a predicted less than
20,000 causlities while 100,000 STARVE TO DEATH everyyear.
besides don't say that it's just the u.s becuase your
goverment of spain is just as involved with the attack.

look this is a aside but this world is govered by force.
europe was not ready for hitler...people like saddam will
never willingly step down.
