No, you didn't, little girl. You simply stated that it "doesn't matter" and that we aren't the "moral police". tell me, if we don't stop him, who will?

Do you want to let saddam kill millions of his own people? Sounds like you do.
Ok, if you don't want to go to war, what are the other alternatives you have in mind?
We have given Saddam 12 years to comply with the UN. He has been playing de ping pong all 12 of those years. The more we wait, the more dead children we'll have since saddam takes the humanitarian aid and rices up his civics.
War will result in deaths, but only for awhile. Leaving saddam be will result in deaths too, but this will last as long as he is in power.
The only thing not clear are our motives for the war.
Some say its disarming saddam, others say its for liberating the iraqi people, and others say that we are preventing another 9-11.
We are in a lose-lose situation. Either way, innocent civilians die.

I guess you missed the obvious answer: It doesn't (support peace)
While I do not want to see anybody die , I fail to see the situation in such a stark contrast of black and white like yourself.
I don't see what's so complicated about the issue. Saddam is killing his own people, and he needs to be stopped. Add the fact that he most likely has NBC weapons, has refused to comply with UN resolutions... I don't see any reason why we don't have the authoity to remove him from power. This is our planet too, and saddam is a major threat.
"But he's only killing his OWN people!!"
yes he does, but not by an American led unilateral force.
I think fact is definitely the wrong word in that sentence
global politics don't work like this, do you have any idea what kind of horrible precedent we are setting with First Strike?
What you may fail to realize now, but I suspect you will realize quite soon is that there are going to potentially be serious repercussions to this attack. People in the middle east hate us already and bombs aren't the best way to turn people toward your side.
ROFLMFAO! He was a threat 12 years ago when he used biological agents on the Kurdish people. The only reason he is still in power is because the UN ordered us out last time. Ever since then they have been tryin it their way and he has been dodging it. He has an alarming amount of chemical/biological agents 'missing or unaccounted'. Lets face it, he could have a nuke (emphasis on COULD). So after 12 years of try other ways to disarm Saddam, I think that what has and will come to pass is the right decision. Yes it will involve deaths of BOTH civilian and armed forces, but when there are examples of people from Iraq (as there have been posted in here) asking for us to go in there and take him out of power then I would say that things have gone far enough. He rules with an Iron Fist, he lies, he kills his own people, and there have been suspected ties with Osama Bin Laden, which I am not surprised to say, is very believeable and very scary.
And if you think that someone is ignorant for believing Saddam to be a threat, then you are ignorant. Anyone can be a threat, but someone with chemical/biological weapons and a history of using them, on
his own people nonetheless, is a very real, very dangerous threat.
And no, this isn't a 'black and white' issue. It is very much a 'grey' issue, but one which you don't even appear to be able to grasp the slightest hold of.
You reply to this with a sensible idea to disarm Saddam that they haven't tried over the last 12 years. What do you want them to do, send the inspectors in again? Get them to try Flowers and a please? Saddam has been given his chance, and a fcuking long one if you ask me.
You obviously need to think through this situation before you post about it. It is a very real situation that demands grown up views, not
ones because they are not even remotely thought through.
So in conclusion - Go Home, Grow Up and get a realistic view ffs
'OH NO THE US IS FLEXING IT'S MUSCLE AND IN THE PROCESS MAKING MUCH OF EUROPE IRRELEVANT AND, WORSE, MAKING THEM LOOK WEAK AND HELPLESS AGAINST AMERICAN WISHES!'
This is what's running through many European heads. They will lash out in anger (at being ignored) and frustration (at their own weakness) and embarrassment (at their own irrelevance).
I think I would have similar feelings.

Not mine. I live in the Uk and take a proud view of the stance my country has taken on this situation. No problems with the US either, seeing as we are fighting side by side thats a good thing.
Some people just take out there frustation of their views on the current situation on the US and those who support going to war.
