It's not working either way. All I'm getting is a bunch of pop-ups. Where did you find these?

[Raptorman]

You finally got the link to work. And that Iraqi really laid it on that activist.

It seems like people who argue against war because "all those civilians will die!" too often forget that civilians already are dying in Iraq, and it is the fault of Saddam Hussein. Civilians will die in the war, but once Saddam is gone, the Iraqi people will welcome our troops with open arms, happy that the man who terrorized them is finally gone.

How can you blame sanctions imposed upon Iraq on Saddam. It's like blaming a victim for being raped.

You make an illogical argument here. First, you imply that Saddam is the victim of the sanctions. Accoding to Forbes magazine, Saddam Hussain is the 62nd wealtiest man alive with a net worth of about 5Bil. US$. He is not missing any meals and dosen't seem inclined to share any of his largess with those around him that are.

Second, Saddam is the cause of UN resolution 661 which imposes sanctions on Iraq. Saddam is the cause of the 40 some odd UN resolutions decrying various rotten things he does and continues to do making it impossible to lift those sanctions. The removal of Saddam would allow this to happen. In this light, the use of force is not only justified, it is morally imperative.

actually saddam may have more than $9 billion dollars worth of liquid and non-liquid assets according to TIME magazine. but your arguement is sound though.

That girl got torn apart. Really. If that was a wrestling match, she'd be dead.
