So, anyone who disagrees with the war-bashing going on here, and feels that the photo-propaganda of dead children is one-sided and therefore wrong, -- automatically makes "non-useful" posts?

Eugene would u please explain to me why the stock market rose 200 points after the war started..How come the gas prices are down? how come bush is gaining popularity all of a sudden..u are all talking about how sadam should be removed and stuff but no one is payin attension that this is not the REAL MOTIVE for the war..the country has succeeded in pulling away the attension out of the real reasons for the war..i would say SAVING THE IRAQI PEOPLE is only 10% why bush started war. the other 90% can be summed up to him gaining popularity,every president must leave a legacy and thats his maybe it will help him to get reelected,boom in the economy and securing oil.

I agree that saving the Iraqi people was not the main motive for starting the war. The main motive was preventing the threat of terrorism and WMD. And this motive became especially visible after 9/11. Previously, the world's perception of itself had been different. In this day and age, what a country does inside its borders -- developing chemical weapons, for example -- is no longer a matter of its national sovereignty. It's a matter of the international community, which must interfere. Keep in mind that chemical weapons had never been used after WWI (!), until the late 1980s when Saddam actually used them against the Kurds. That was overstepping all binding international laws. And after 9/11, the world can no longer overlook the danger of Saddam's regime.
I can see your point, though, how "saving the Iraqi people" as figuring among Bush's motives could be seen as somewhat hypocritical (why didn't you save them before?).
