Of course it will...The idea that Iraq is going to attack anyone is just some Paranoid Conspiracy that George W Bush wants to spread around so everyone will get out their hunting gear and join his "Let's crush innocent people" army...

You guys are too young to remember how we got to be the most powerful country in the free world. We got it by standing up for what we believe in and helping out the little guys. The results aren't always the best forcast. Look at Vietnam, for instance. But at least we were willing to take a stand. I didn't vote for Bush, but I'll have to admit, it's finally nice to see a president with guts for a change. It's been too long without one. Although, I still think old George Senior is running more of it than will ever be admitted.
I think we ought to go over to Iraq and finish the job once and for all. There should never be an "if" he has the weapons. We know he does, or at least the capability and hatred enough to use them. I don't want another September 11th to look back on. And I don't know much about Tony Blair, but I like him. He's not afraid to take a stand either. You will never miss the freedom you have now until you lose it. Then there will be a lot of tune changing about all of this going on now. Better to forge ahead and keep our way of life than to let some grease spot take it away from you. Libya was our Iraq in the old days. Once we straightened out Qaddafi (or however you spell it) he backed off. He was just as dangerous to us then as Saddam is to us now.
That's just my 3 1/2 cents worth.

Boofo - I respect your opinion, but to be honest, don't you think that Mr Bush Take 2 is just another excuse for America to go on a Power trip again?
Is it me, or am I the only one who sees America's flamboyent exclaimation of "We are the greatest Super-power on this Planet" as a renouncement of what America is supposed to stand for? "Freedom"...My cat has more intelligence in one strand of it's hair...My Cat only really wants to wage war on Carpets, and even it has the intelligence to only go and attack one bit of the Carpet, incase the other parts attack back...
I would just laugh my head off if America got their backside handed to them on a silver platter

When someone bombs New York City in early morning, unexpectedly, and kills 2000-3000 people in the process, moral judgement is no longer the most important issue. America is a family, I'm willing to protect my family, that's what it's supposed to be all about. If you stand by and do nothing while someone slaps you long enough, sooner or later, you're going to get hurt and then it's too late to do anything about it. Who is Saddam Husien to have moral judgement on us, or on any other country who doesn't agree with him? I believe if people don't like the way this country is run, and how we do things to get and keep the freedoms and ideals we have, then they have every right to go live in another country that they do agree with. That's what I would do if I didn't agree with it. If we don't take care of him now, then we can expect more September 11ths in the future. You don't wait for the snake to bite.

We only have Bush's and Blair's word that there is a Snake to bite us with...And to be honest, I don't trust either of them...:bored:

If what you're saying is true, then what did we do to Afghanistan to bring on Sept. 11th? I'm not saying we should judge the rest of the world, I'm not saying we should go attack Turkey because it's Thanksgiving or attack China because they do population control. Those are problems that don't adversely affect us, but when Saddam Hussein threatens to help out the Tali-ban by giving them chemical weapons, what is that? We're not morally judging anything, we're just defending ourselves, not in case of attack, but a very real probability of attack. If someone walks into my house and says they're going to shoot me, I'm not waiting until I see a gun before I take them out. If we don't take care of our own then when it's all done and said, there won't be anything left worth fighting for.

I understand that you are worried about these "Chemical Weapons" that apparently exist (in Bush's barely active imagination), but I disagree that waging war on any country that isn't America or it's so called Allies without hard evidence and proof that these "Chemical Weapons" do actually exist is the right course of action for anyone...
And prior to contrary belief - 9-11 cannot happen again until they rebuild the 2 towers...And also prior to contrary belief, I think you will find that 9-11 was just a Conspiracy - Either the American Government set it up as an excuse for war on anyone not remotely Americanised, or it was some bunch of crazy people, totally unrelated to the Taliban or Iraq or any Middle-Eastern country...
Now...Boofo - I understand that you have a Family to look after...But to be honest, they are more likely to get killed by Bush's stupidity and inherent madness, rather than a Chemical or Nuclear attack from other countries...
The World is just paranoid - Most of this is probably just some Government Conspiracy...
