You do realize that it is generally people that hold the minority view that feel the need to protest, right?

No, it's people with nothing more than a voice (or a vote) that feel the need to protest and it is abundantly clear the MAJORITY sentiment is consistent with the protesters in this case.

It is certainly conceivable that a poll of Likud Party members, the Texas GOP, or Saddam's family members (including the imprisoned, exiled, or dead) would yield a plurality for regime change.

the majority of europeans. but they don't count.

This is not an internal affair of the US, it is an international affair, so every country in the world has a say.

Not really. This is really only between Iraq and the US.

Why are the french acting unilaterly in the ivory coast? Do you have a problem with the french military beating up on a smaller country(this is saying alot😉 )


Yes, really. In the speech Colin Powell made, he said the greatest threat Iraq poses is to its neighbors. Last I checked, we were QUITE far from Iraq. It's for the well being of the Kuwaitis... we swear!

And its neighbors we still protect today. The peaceniks dont mind us keeping the problem in check, they just really hate it when we want to remove a problem.

So is it an internal affair or not? You say it is internal. Colin Powell says it is not.

Choices, choices.


Jesus, who should I believe?


Yes it is an internal affair. Kuwait is of course involved as we have troops stationed there.


I guess you like the population of Iraq being kept under Saddams boot?

Also if you choose to beleive Powell over me, You should also beleive inspections are not working.

U.S. troops in Kuwait would hardly qualify that as making it an internal affair. The fight between Pakistan and India must be internal too, as there is a large amount of U.S. citizens currently in India, and that fight between the two countries can pose a threat to them if a war breaks out.

I wasn't aware that you were a subscriber of the 'our way or the highway' theory Charrison. I think most of us on here hate Sadaam as much as anyone, but we don't agree on HOW he should be removed. Bombing cities and infrastructure from hundreds of feet up in the air [as we had done in iraq in 1991, as we have done in Yugoslavia, and as we have done in AF] is probably not a sure fire way to keep civilian casualties low. And that is probably the main concern most of us 'anti-war, unpatriotic, lefty, granola eatin, birkenstock wearin, pot smokin, long hair, lefty, liberal hippies' have.

I'll refrain from believing either one of you. 🙂

 
Very annoying really. I like being right and it's alot easier to think I'm right if the rest of the world isn't telling me I'm full of sh!t. I just hate that cause then I got to go to all the trouble of thinking up excuses for why I'm right when I just simply always am and shouldn't have to think about it. And somethimes I start doubting and that scares the piss out of me. What if I'm not just wrong about the war, but I'm wrong about everything in the world. That WOULD be depressing, no?
