Go ahead. And no, I am not anti-American, I am anti-Bush and anti-War-On-Iraq. Your attitude is what is killing democratic discussion in this country.
Can I quote you on that? *Another Lemming Idiot*
OK, I guess I can see the anti-Bush thing. I happen to like him and think he is a much better president that Gore would have been. I will grant you that a stronger presidential candidate could have been found by either party. Franklin D. Roosevelt, Bush is not.
How can you be anti-War-on-Iraq? Are you really that stupid? This is a country led by a dictator who has such hatred of Americans and American policies that we and all of our allies are at risk of any number of possible attacks.
For example, there are reports that Saddam rewarded families of suicide bombers in Israel. These reports are denied. We get ready to invade, what does Saddam do? Tries to gather volunteer suidide bombers to attack American troops. Hmmm, pattern?
We have been at war with Iraq since 1992. We are not at peace, we have a formal cease-of-hostilities that depends on complying with the various UN resolutions which includes Hussein
presenting all chemical weapons that his country has possession of and accounting for the rest. All of this inspectors searching for weapons is BS. This is not compliance. And furthermore, most of the excuses as to where some of the weapons have gone are stupid. You can't just "dispose" of close to a ton of anthrax.
This man is a danger to most countries on the planet. We have both an obligation to defend our allies and a right to defend ourself. If you don't have the backbone to defend your home that is one thing, but do not talk badly of a man who will defend it for you.
