I think the USA should definitely invade Iraq at the
earliest possible opportunity. They threaten the US's
control of this vital oil producing region. If the US has no
access to this oil, the economy will crumble and people
will starve. let's keep the starving where they belong. In
the thrid world!

What's the point of being the world's greatest power if
you can't excercise that power in your own interests?
The whinging liberals can leave the country as far as I
am concerned. The US should use its military, political
and economic power to assure it's safe future. Any
other course of action is mere self delusion. Do you
think that another country with the same power as the
US would act any differently?

Anyone, like bin laden, or arafat, who dares to attack
the US or its interests must be first humiliated and then
destroyed. This may cause resentment in other nations,
but what the hell are they going to do about it? Invade
America?

Anyone who threatens the viability of US corporates
must be taught a lesson. The US controls the IMF, the
World Bank, etc etc. The US should NOT be afraid to
use this leverage to further its own ends.

The time has come for the world to realise that we are
not beholden to any organisation, legal body or treaty,
whether or not we signed it sometime in the past.

Times, as they say, change.

if all americans think like you there should be no democracy in america. The world would be a whole lot better off without your thoughts.

There's never a good thing about war in my mind. I think a country should try to avoid war at any costs..

Remember.. they are people just like you. If you think it's okay to kill them, it's definately okay to kill you.

Of course there should be democracy in the US.

Thnakfully, the people's choice is limited to the
Republicans and the Democrats and the people who
really run the country stay in the background.. same as
any democracy.

And 'Avoid war at ANY cost?'

Surely you can't mean this?

How should we have responded to Pearl harbour?
Surrender? That would have avoided a war certainly..

and if america invades Iraq.. what is next?

I understand that you as an american is concerned about your sequrity, but invading iraq or any country is not the solution. I think it will only make things worst.. and the hate towards america will explode.

I am sorry I called you stupid, but it's just that I got really upset when I read what you wrote. I was not sure you where kidding or being serious.

pearl harbour was a bit different because then it was a nation who attacked, not a group of people.

I think hate towards america has already exploded..
figuratively and literally.

But, tell me this, who is going to help out if the oil in the
middle east falls under the control of Islamic tyrants?

They will then have a strangehold on the western
economies.. get real, we have to get in there and do the
business, then leave as much military hardware in the
region as possible.

I think you are right. Hate agaisnt america has already exploded.

What gives america the right to control the oil in the middle east? Islamic tyrants? What if it got under control of american tyrants? That would be just as bad in my mind.

Instead of exploiting other countries one should cooperate and help each other. It's about solidarity and respect of human life. No people is more worth than any other people.

Trade instead if taking. So, middle east got oil. Hey, america need oil. Hoi, america prolly got something middle east want. Go Trady trady

Hey, remember the 70's oil crisis? The middle eastern oil producers hiked their prices and the western economies crashed.

I do think that waging war against iraq is a bad idea though...

lol!!!.. excellent stuff Pat, 10/10! - I mean what's the other option?.. the USA is already bankrupt, and are about to default on all their international debts.

Of course if we threw our collective brains towards developing exploiting alternative clean energy sources like solar,wind,thermal,and tidal energy we could rid ourselves of the dependence on fossil fuels but we couldn't have that now could we?
