I'm not sure what your on about the radio stations things, but I am for the most part, for the war.

the lead singer on the dixie chicks said something bad about the president and now most radio stations arent playing their songs. But, I myself, am for the war

Praetor · **Fri Mar 28, 2003 7:15 am**

I'm against the war, and as for the radio stations not playing songs from people who voiced their opinions, that's crap.

^^Notice how no one gives Arab people the respect that they give Western leaders. We call the president Bush, the cabinet members by their last names (Ashcroft, Rumsfeld, Powell, etc.). But when it comes to Arab leaders (even if they are crappy ones)? Saddam. Osama. We give them none of the respect that we give our leaders. We even remember Adolph Hitler by his last name, but he was white: a member of the Western culture. Think about it.

WE'RE NOT ONLY DESTROYING HUSSEIN. We're destroying Baghdad, Basra, Umm Qasr: we're destroying morale.

Im for the war because after all it was Bin-lon and suddom who hurt use right in the heart when they had those planes crash into the twin towers, the pendagon, and the field in pennislavina so I say there are some things worth fighting for yeah so what if it is the next world war but after what they did to use on 9/11 im 100% of War.

So Saddam Hussein putting AA guns on the roofs of hospitals, that's phony? Saddam Hussein's little ninja boys putting bullets through the heads of citizens who refuse to fight for him, that's also phony? And the pics of the Iraqi's running to the soldiers, and thanking them, that's also phony?
How about the Iraqi military shooting SEVEN coalition soldiers that had already SURRENDERED. And you think they are deserving of honor.

^So how did you see it done? Do you see SH just "going away"? Because I certainly don't. And he's got the Iraqi's terrified of him. And it's only natural they're scared. If someone threatens to kill your family..............

And all of those alleged prostitutes that he had beheaded........ Nothing short of military action is going to remove this regime. He's a terrorist, they don't just go away.

They attacked the WTC, we did nothing, they attacked Bali, we did nothing, they attacked the Cole, we did nothing.......... When do we do something? How many need die because of an insane madman?

Theresa · **Fri Mar 28, 2003 6:27 pm**

And I have no idea how absolute the figures are, but I do know that there are a few thousand Iraqi POWs. There is a military base near here, and they are sending out meds and supplies to the ships, etc... where the POWs are being held. Here we are giving them meds and food, clean clothes and a warm place to sleep, and our guys get shot, unarmed. You'll excuse me if that pisses me off a bit.

^I think you forget that that is not what this war is about. This war is about the fact that SH would not disarm after 12 years of being ordered to do so. And I find it amazing that so many chemical components that he claimed not to have have been found.
The freeing of the Iraqi population is a side effect. A wonderful one, but a side effect none the less.

And more and more links are showing up between Al Qaeda and SH. General Franks gave a short breifing on the very subject a short time ago. I'll see if there's any text of this speech online.

Do you know how much oil the US gets from Iraq? Please do a little research and tell me. I myself know, because I did the research, but I want to see what your reaction is when you find out.
And to keep the stability, if that's what you want to call it, at the time, America and others helped the Ba'ath party oust the current ruling party. That much is fact, no one is disputing that. THEN SH was the lesser of two evils. To be totally factual, it wasn't even SH who was being supported.

Yup, lets blame America. Doing what they, and others, think is best at the time, trying to save lives and perserve the tenuous peace. Whatever we do always comes back to bite us in the ass. I think we should withdraw all peacekeeping troops, call in all loans, and let the rest of the world go at it. Sit over here and isolate ourselves while childeren and women, and the elderly are massacred. And don't say that alot of that wouldn't happen, because we'd bankrupt alot of countries. We are the youngest "superpower", but we've also given the most. Huh. Odd.

I'm by no means saying that I think this war is a mistake, but I am questioning one thing.

Is the US not allowed to make errors? If so, why? We're only 227 years old, but we're supposed to be perfect while all of these others who are centuries old are allowed.........

We have made mistakes in the past, everyone knows that. But why is it when the US does something, we're scum? We're overbearing self righteous jerks? Can anyone say, "double standard"?

On the immoral part, you'd get no argument from me. And the US has admitted mistakes more so than others. But once you start getting attacked constantly, wouldn't your back go up? If we sit at home, and let the world go at it, we're isolationists. If we help, even when the country asks, we're interfering.
