The argument for war is based solely on emotion

Fear and anger mostly.

The UN, CIA, State Department and pretty much the rest of the world all agreed that taking a diplomatic approach to this problem was the best idea. But the Bush administration, ala Hitler, decided to capitalize on the fear created by 9/11 and use it to generate hatred toward Iraq. By using the threat of terrorism, the administration and all of its followers can now accuse any disbelievers of lack of patriotism. Anyone who speaks out now is labeled as someone who doesn't care about the well being of our country and doesn't "support our troops." "How dare any dissenters speak out when our troops are sacrificing their lives to ensure our freedom!!" Well, I have something to say to that! How dare you, Mr. Bush, work this country up into paranoia simply to support your war that nobody thought was necessary, so that you and other fat bastards can get richer from "rebuilding" Iraq at the expense of our soldies' lives!!! What do the soldiers get from the government they risk their lives for? A shitty paycheck which pales in comparison to how much Bush and his cronies are gonna profit from this. People say "well, we took care of Saddam ourselves, so we should have the right to rebuild Iraq!" Well, its actually the soldiers taking care of it while Dick Cheney's fat pussy ass is hiding in some bunker, and the rest of us are watching on TV. The soldiers won't get a dime from the profits these big wigs are going to reap. So in that sense, HOW THE FUCK AM I NOT SUPPORTING THE TROOPS BY BEING AGAINST THIS WAR?!? There is no logic to this. It's just a bunch of wolves dreaming up these excuses, bullying other government organizations to go along, and a bunch of sheep that nod and buy into this bullshit! And it's simply based on anger and fear. The true traitors are those who try to stifle democracy by calling people traitors that don't agree.

If this is not true, that explain to me how 4 in 5 Americans think Iraq was involved with September 11?!?! What kind of bullshit is that?!?! Every move by this organization has attempted to strike more an more fear into people's hearts, because they know fear inhibits independent thinking, and independent thought is just what they don't want!!! They want sheep who don't question any of their moves, which, in effect, turns America into a dictatorship. Bush himself even commented on how much easier it would be to run this country if this were a dictatorship. What a fucking traitor!

Untill this pro-war bullshit propaganda that Fox News barfs out is stopped, yes, I would tend to agree with you. But the truth is, everyone I know who knows the details of what is going on is against the war. My friends who are for the war are the ones who don't want to talk about it and don't want to know about it. And they don't know about it. They wish to just stay uninformed, and let the government take care of it. How sad, as people like them will be the downfall of democracy.

Idk bout Iraq n 9-11 but ya never know for sure.

I read an article a while back that said when the Oklahoma bombing occured, 2 of Saddam's Special Republican Guards were at the scene of the crime. FBI took them in for questioning and then Clinton pardoned them.

Seems weird to me.

Given the hatred of Saddam Hussein by Osama bin Laden, and vice versa, I doubt that Iraq had anything to do with this. Remember, these guys were mortal enemies...
