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.

Were probably going in. Either in right after the election in November or more likely in January when the weather cools down after the holidays. The Democrats are too spineless to oppose Bush because his "War on Terror" has given him such high approval ratings. The democrats don't want to lose seats in November by opposing a popular president. If the Democrats pick up a large number of seats in either the house or Senate in November they might crawl out of the shadows and express some opposition. Bushes indecicive rhetoric is partly due to the upcoming election as well. He doesnt want to lose republican seats in the house and senate by declaring war before the election and its too hot over their to wear chemical weopons gear. ITs too early for him to commit to action because he doesn't want to give Saddam too much advanced warning on whether he is actually going in. Note that Saddam is now moving key targets underground and moving other strategic items around as well. Why would he bother doing this if he didn't think we were serious about wiping him out. I don't really support the war but I think it would end quickly and decisively with less resistance than most people think. What I don't understand is why Isreal can't do the job as they have a huge military and are much closer and hated by Saddam. Bush will ask congress for approval as he already has it now and its just a formality. If you really oppose the war stop driving your car or stop bitching. Were all partly repsonsible for this mess. Please don't blame America after all most people in this country didn't vote for Bush.

Now Mr Blair, our wonderful leader has told us all to stop moaning and get ready to attack to Iraq..

Tony Blair has promised to publish a dossier of evidence against Iraq "in the next few weeks" as he gave his broadest hint yet of support for toppling Saddam Hussein.

"I believe there is evidence that they will acquire nuclear weapons if they possibly can," he said.

"Vast" amounts of chemical and biological weapons remained unaccounted for, said Mr Blair, and there was real concern that Iraq was trying to gain ballistic missile technology.

So Saddam is about to launch a nuclear attack on the US or the UK?

Hahahahaha! Yeah, right... if he attacked the west, Iraq would be a smouldering lake of radioactive waste before you could say 'war crimes tribunal'.

School bully: 'I thought he may have had a penknife in his pocket so I murdered his entire family sir'

Teacher: 'Good boy, you have saved us from a potential threat to the entire school!'

Police Officer: 'Here, boy, have a medal for your timely pre-emptive strike'

no no k, clear and present danger mate!

Iraq may at any time launch a first strike against the US or the UK... it's time to spill the blood of thousands of innocent people to counter this very real threat.

Now, lets see......, who's next for a regime change?

China is not a democracy, brutally represses its own population and has an active nuclear and ballistic program... and no doubt a whole heap of secret weapons programs... and they invaded Tibet.. an extremely peaceful country...

So, lets go for it... c'mon george and tony!

yeah but china would kick our bums to oblivion, we could fling all our nukes at them and there'd still be 397 zillion-billion of them left... they could fling like 1/10000000 of their nuclear force at us and sink the uk into the north sea... besides, they make all the happy meal toys, tesco carrier bags, behringer mixers.... well.. everything frankly..

what saddam needs to do is open lots of BK's & maccy-d's in baghdad & make happy-meal toys

(assuming he's actualy alive that is, & not stuffed, sitting motionless in that chair as he always seems to be doing)

heh heh
