War=Bad

[Sir-Francis-Drake]

How can Bush+Blair's plans for Iraq be justified? Do they know something we don't, do they think they can take the law into their own hands, or are they just after oil to help the economy?

[RandomFreak]

Is it justified? That's hard for me to answer right now... however I definitely think it's about much more the oil, I think it's mainly excessive paranoia and anger over the effects and possibilities of terrorism. Both Bush and Blair are convinced that Iraq is linked closely and directly to terrorism but can't prove it, and therein lies the problem.

People can continue to speculate; however, until Powell has presented his evidence tomorrow to the UN, we will see whether or not it is justified.

war=nescessary

[TheEvilOne]

I've been saying for a while now that war is justified. Does anyone here NOT think that Iraq is trying to give us the run-around when it comes to the inspections? I personally think they have something to hide--if they don't, why aren't they cooperating better?

[nafs]

clinton used the last weapons inspection as an excuse to spy on iraq using CIA agents... He admitted it himself.

I do however, think that iraq might have something to hide. But I dont think a war is justified or fair to the rest of the world at this point.

Anyone who thinks war is good does not value the worth of sentient life. Much like people who are for capital punishment.

I do notthink that waris good, for any reason. I do not think thatthe pointless wasteof human life can really everbe justified. However, have to say, the world is probably about due for a war. During the last century, there were the two greatest wars the human race has everseen - and the human race also advances, scientifically and socially, the fastest ever seen in history, at least in the developed world, with far higher standards of livingthan ever before. Immediately after that was the Cold War, the first ever war with the ability to completely wipeoutthe human race. The same thing happened with technological advances again then. Now, after years of relative peace, scientific research has slowed down again, politicians are becoming far more, well, political, rather than patriotic and driven with the vast amounts of energy required to fight a war, and the human race as a whole is generally becoming self-indulgent and not really pushing for any new orbetter future. The space shuttle disaster afew days ago was an exampleof this - funding cutbacks and the ignoring of multiple warnings are supposed to have led to it, a thing that would probably have not happened underthe pressure to get it perfectly right during the space race between america and russia.
Hell, maybe I've got a really warped idea here, and I'm completely wrong, morally and generally. But maybe, if a war reallyis inevitable now (which it isn't entirely, but still seems prettybloody likely), then the outcome will be all bad.
... And if N. Korea blows up too, then the outcome could be even more accented (for good and for bad).

(Sorry about the missing spaces in this post, my keyboards screwed up, i know it doesn't make for easy reading... damn sugary drinks!)

it wont help the economy but i just belive that their sick of saddams crap. hes been jerking around the us and england and it needs to stop. people are just waiting for another 9/11. if they wait long enough it will happen. bush and blair are trying to stop another 9/11 from happening. i cant believe that the people of america dont support them. i can see why russia and france are against it. they both hate the us and england. its going to be america and england vs iraq and iraq is going to get smoked.

yeah lets just run around putting flowers in gun barrels until we get our head shot off. its a good idea in theory but you better make sure that the people who used to be your allies agree with your theory; if not then your dead. its better to react then delay. and in this situation a reaction with war is the only way to fix this problem. we have talked to saddam for 12 years trying to save you sentient life but its not going to happen.

[untouchable8]

war isnt good but is the only way we have tried other things in the past and look where its got us

[Sniego]

if iraq uses chemical or biological weapons againsts the united states or any of its allies george bush will not hesitate to use a nuke or two. he will do this not only in retaliation but to send a message. if you want to fuck with the U.S. the U.S. will fuck you up. do you think any other country will try to bullshit with us again? i dont. we should nuke iraq and piss on their ashes

[DeathRacerxxx]

yes nuke the dirty apes

[WolfSoldier]

if they dont do something there will be no future

[Anti-corruption]

i think US should attack Iraq or Saddam asap before Iraq or Saddam really do something to protect themselves from its allies or escape to African countries.
