You anti-war protesters will go to the lowest denominator, won't you? First calling Bush Saddam Hussein. Second trying to get the sympathy votes from kid's letters that are brainwashed. What's going to be your next move?
First of all...I was antiwar not because i like saddam or want to harbor terrorists. Instead I wanted a convincing argument to goto war and did not receive one. All I got were cartoon pictures of what a mobile weapon factory may look like, and that was the best evidence.
But it is too late to be antiwar...that is over. We are at war. We need to be supportive and try to make this war work. If you can't beat the system...you need to work the system.
About the manipulating kids though...there are ignorant extremes on both sides. On oneside a college kid who enlisted with the marines for college money does not want war because he doesn't want to fight? Kid needs on the very front. or someone saying bush wants oil? I know that is not true because it doesn't make sense. On the other side you have the dumb people saying antiwar people are terrorists, or saying nuke the bastards, nuk all of em! And sure the kids don't even matter; why the hell would bush care about the opinion of people that will never be able to vote for him?
You are pretty much right.
The reason not to go to war is an opinion.
The reason to go to war is also an opinion in this case
One cannot justify it to someone who doesn't believe. As I have said b4 regardless of the true motivations of Bush, I am hopeful that the war will kick out/kill Saddam and the Iraqi's will get a real democratic government and use all the money they make on their oil to make some kind of life that will actually help out everyone there.
I think that you have to use forve with people like Saddam but that is an opinion, perhaps you think you can just use economic sanctions? I am not sure what your thinking is.
