i dont understand the assumption that war and removal of saddam hussein is going to guarantee peace and stability in Iraq - its alot easier said than done for s sake!!
im divided on the issue - in some ways you might consider this the right war for the wrong reasons (if there is such a thing as a "right war"). But on the other hand DECLARING war is a huge act to undertake and to do something like that on a hunch... well...
There is no doubt that Saddam is a burdon to his people, but its not valid to declare war just on the basis of removing his oppressive regime - what about zimbabwe and mugabe, what about the chinese occupation of tibet??
who knows what the long term destabilising effects of this are gonna be - i sure dont and the US govt sure doesnt. All things weighed up i dont support the war |

I don't like arguments. Therefore I consider myself neutral :D But Saddam Hussein MUST go, and if it takes war for that to happen then so be it. So actually that makes me kinda pro-war....oh dear, I'm confused. |

You can't be neutral if you think that a war is needed if it overthrows the Iraqi government. Neutral would be someone who doesn't care at all (i.e. no opinions about Saddam, Bush or the war itself). |

anti, but not on an extreme position. the situation would have to be stopped at a point, but I don't like the way USA are taking the situation to satisfy their interests. |
France and Russia had financial interests tied into Saddam's regime, so they were looking out for their own interests as well. ;) |

Why can't you be like Chirac?? "More time!!!!!!" :stongue:
~12 years is quite a while...
The only reason inspectors were let back into Iraq was with the threat of aggression...
I think the US should also hold Israel accountable for not abiding by it's respective UN resolutions as well. They could refuse to sell them anymore weapons for example etc. |

| you should have put a don't care choice. not that i don't care, but i think war is not the answer to the problem at hand. unfortunately i think bush has poorly defined the problem. |
