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.

my grandfather was on two ships that were sunk in WWII. He never let it upset him he floated in the ocean twice watching his freinds all die around him. i know he was part of the island hoppers and took part in the bloodiest fighting in the pacific. He was happy to be alive, and lived his life happily. You can blame the guilt this guy was carrying for his suicide. But there is always somthing more wrong with people who take there own life. i don't feel any pitty for him.
i don't feel bad for any of those iraqi soldiers either. The Kuwait women and children were killed and raped by iraqi's you idiot. We were the ones stopping it. so go sell your propaganda elsewhere!

I'm all for bombing Iraq. It's not the us/uk's fault those iraqi children are starving. A corrupt government more concerned with developing and maintaining an army is to blame. As an American, I'm VERY scared of Saddam AND the Saudi's. But only because they will come after ME, and not our military.
You folks around the world also need to understand that GWB does not equal the average American. He is running his show as if he won that last election in a land-slide. And quit with this crap about pointing out places where the us didn't intervene. I'm not sure if this has been reported outside of hte US, but you'll find the us military has shrunk SIGNIFICANTLY since the 1980's. We CAN'T be everywhere at once. The us is in a no-win situation. If we do nothing, we get criticized. If we do something we get criticized. So, we look after our own interests. Your governments do to, and I bet you do the same EVERY SINGLE DAY OF YOUR LIFE.
Frankly, the fact that I don't know what is going on is good. If I know what our troops are up to, so does Saddam. And if he knows, he kills more of us. Loose lips sink ships.
An unbiased media is a myth. EVERYONE has an agenda. If you happen to agree with it, it appears unbiased.
Go on Jamey...

I don't like to opinionize for very long without providing at least some information along the way, unlike the US news media.
I find it disturbing that so many military activities are taking place on behalf of a so-called democratic government, without in the least consulting the rulers in that government, i.e. we, the people.
Oh -- I forgot -- that no longer applies.
