So wait, we should blow up GW Bush? Or are you saying that GW is just as bad as Saddam, being a bully in the middle east, gassing his own people, running a dictatorship.

I did not advocate 'blowing up' anyone.

I am not privy first hand information on what Hussein or Bush did or did not do. However, I do accept as truth that GW Bush's response to 9-11 was to attack the entire nation of Afganistan for a "harboring terrorists". Now that he's bombed the hell out of the country, and according to news reports, terrorists have fled to Pakistan, why aren't we at war with Pakistan? Also, aren't there plenty of terrorists in Palestine? Northern Ireland? New Jersey? Why doesn't he drop a firebomb on NJ to show the little anthrax punk who's boss?

GW Bush is not as bad a Saddam Hussein. My opinion is that he has the potential to be worse. So, since he has the potential to be worse, if I'm interpreting Bush family logic correctly, why don't we assassinate him?

As for Iraq being a dictatorship, sure that's probably true. So what? Since America is the self proclaimed leader of the 'free world', it is our duty destroy anyone who doesn't agree with us.

oh wait, here's Bush's "Homeland Security" team, aka secret police come to arrest me for voicing a dissident opinion.

Well Dave, maybe, just maybe, "the idea that Israel may have something to gain", may actually be true in this instance. I know it's hard to believe, but this may well be a case of the US fighting a war with only Israel standing to gain anything at all. I know....why don't we let one of Israel's other allies fight this war for them?

You want to worry about some crazed dictator having his finger on a nuke? Worry about Israel. They have hunderds of nukes pointed everywhere. Read.... everybody is their enemy, or so they think. Should we attack Iraq, it will be without any allied support, not a very good idea.

The only thing Israel gains out of this is that another country dedicated to it's destruction is eliminated. So what. I don't worry even a little bit about Israel doing a first strike. Not going to happen. I have also said from the beginning that we should not do this alone unless ther is very very compelling evidence that cannot be ignored. Why the rest of the world would ignore it, if that were the case, I couldn't even begin to understand.
